Distinguishing features: Specimens not identified to species level


Morphology remarks: We are using this category for images of specimens which can be identified to generic level but have not been definitively assigned to a single species.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within (-Ma, top in "Holocene" stage). Data source:
First occurrence (base): within (-Ma, base in stage). Data source:

Plot of occurrence data:

  • Histogram - Neptune occurrence data from DSDP and ODP proceedings. Pale shading <50 samples in time bin. Interpret with caution & read these notes
  • Note to users in China - the diagram may not plot unless you use a VPN since I use google services on the website. If this is a problem please contact me 谢谢.
  • Taxon plotted: Biscutum sp., synonyms included - Biscutum sp.; Biscutum sulcata; Paleopontosphaera sp.; Biscutum constans (large); Biscutum sp. cf. ellipticum; Biscutum ? sp. very small, with 2 perforations; Biscutum ? sp. medium-sized, with single perforation; Biscutum sp. cf. coronum;
