Study of fungi, algae and bryophytes from the Cretaceous of the Bohemian Massif and James Ross Island

The objective of this Diploma thesis is study of diversity of Late Cretaceous bryophytes, fungi and algae from selected localities of the Bohemian Massif and James Ross Island. The focus of the study is the most precise taxonomy assessment of the found fossils and comparsion of their diversity in selected localities from the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. The greatest emphasis is focused on bryophytes, but algae and fungi are mentioned as well. Thereare described two species of fungi, compared to recent genera Passalora and Stomiopeltis, one species of algaea ssigned to Phycopeltis, two species of liverworts assigned to Ricciopsis, one species of incertae sedis and two species of mosses assigned to Muscites and Livingstonites from the Bohemian Massif. Additionally, from James Ross Island there are three species of mosses described and assigned to Muscites and Livingstonites
