Lusatia dramatica, a distinctive new species from the Upper Cambrian of Öland (Sweden)

A new acritarch species (Lusatia dramatica) is described from uppermost Cambrian beds (Peltura scarabaeoides Trilobite Zone) of the Degerhamn Quarry Road section, southern Öland, Sweden. The filamentous branches of the well-developed processes of Lusatia dramatica, resemble structures shown by many latest Cambrian diacrodians of the Baltic region.
