Description
Burgundiid with ability to produce tabulae. Microstructure ranging from orthogonal to fascicular fibrous. Massive, nodular or dendroid gross morphology. Aquiferous units may possess tabulate oscula and/or astrorhizae (see Wood, 1987). Type species is massive or nodular with vertical elements of 40–70 μm diameter; holotype from Portlandian, Upper Jurassic, Saone et Loire, Vers, France; type species distributed through upper Oxfordian–Hauterivian, France, Spain, Russia, and Japan. Another species, B. ramosa PfendeR, 1937, p. 133, has a coarse reticulum or normally short-branched vertical elements (pillars) of 50–90 μm diameter but no axial reticulum; synonyms are as follows: =Burgundia ramosa PfendeR, 1937, p. 133; =Burgundia campanae PfendeR, 1937, p. 135; =Burgundia steinerae Hudson, 1955c, p. 228; Fenninger, Flügel, & Hötzl, 1963, p. 235; =Burgundia steinerae Hudson, 1955c, p. 228; FenningeR & Hötzl, 1965, p. 40; =Burgundia mammelonata FenningeR & Hötzl, 1965, p. 40; =Burgundia semiclathrata (Hayasaka, 1917, p. 57); Turnšek & Masse, 1973, p. 237; =Burgundia massiliensis Turnšek & Masse, 1973, p. 237; =Burgundia steinerae Hudson, 1955c, p. 228; Dong & Wang, 1983, p. 417; this species extends from upper Oxfordian–Hauterivian, France, Spain, Syria, Iraq, and China. A third species, B. wetzeli (hudson, 1954b, p. 49), is a nodular or dendroid Burgundia with an axial nonlaminate reticulum formed of tubules, and an outer laminate reticulum with simple unbranched pillars limited to one inter- laminar space; and stacked astrorhizal systems with tabulate oscula; synonyms are as follows: =Bekmeia wetzeli hudson, 1954b, p. 49; =Burgundia wetzeli hudson, 1954b, p. 48; =Burgundia wetzeli Turnšek & Masse, 1973, p. 223; it occurs in the Hauterivian, France, Spain, and Iraq.
