Original descriptions of taxa. For coccolithophores, and many calcispheres, these are pages from the Catalog of Calcareous Nannofossils. In other cases (e.g. non-calcifying haptophytes) the data is directly complied on this site. The "Catalogue of Calcareous Nannofossils" was compiled by Prof A. Farinacci 1969-1989 and updated by Richard Howe 2000-2016 - see also this page.
Taxa are sorted alphabetically for simple browsing, or you can use search boxes at the top & bottom of the page

Compiled data
Notes
small taxa such as this are very poorly documented and Lmbert is probbly right to place it in a separate genus rater than sheo-horning into an existing one. However, suggestion that it is in someway intermediate between existing families seems much less -well substatniated
