Abstract

Study of the total biota of an Early Permian phylloid algal horizon in west Texas, indicates that seabottoms densely carpeted with plant growth impose strict limitations on organism exploitation of available ecologic niches. This tends to exclude many shallow water organisms, and a unique plant controlled community evolves. This basic paleoecologic relationship is documented in a number of Late Paleozoic phylloid algal occurrences in North America.
