Taxonomic remark Original / permitted alternative spelling = Fucoïdes. This genus name by Brongniart also listed in Neave with a different year and publication (Brongniart 1828, Hist. végét. foss., 1, 70), regarded as a later usage in IRMNG. From Cleal & Thomas, 2018: Brongniart (1823) published a detailed analysis of fossil remains he regarded as probably of marine algal origin but few subsequent palaeobotanists have devoted much attention to them. Some of the species included by Brongniart (1823) in Fucoides have subsequently been reinterpreted as animal remains (e.g. Maletz 2011) or trace fossils (Jensen and Bergström 1995) and so their names would come outside of the remit of the ICN; but the generic type appears to be of plant (or, at least, algal) origin. Nevertheless, although Fucoides is legitimately published, it will be difficult to use the name until the systematic position of the type has been established. Andrews (1955) in error attributed Fucoides to Brongniart (1823) and stated that the (lecto)type was Fucoides orbignianus Brongniart, 1823. However, the name had been validly published a year earlier (Brongniart 1822a) with only one species name mentioned (F. strictus), which should therefore be taken as the indicated type. [details]
