Descriptive info Middle Miocene; West Germany (Baden). (Index Nominum Genericorum) [details]
Taxonomic remark Described as fossil calcareous algae, however Kabanov et al., 2008 state: The typical Microcodium is probably a biologically induced mineralization driven by a saprotrophic microorganism or a microbial association. [details]
