N. compressus group

Classification: Mesozoic -> Braarudosphaerales -> Nannoconaceae -> Nannoconus -> N. compressus group
Sister taxa: N. steinmannii group, N. kamptneri group, N. abundans group, N. truitti group, N. circularis group, N. compressus group, Nannoconus - atypical, N. sp.,

Distinguishing features: Relatively small (<~5µm), subcircular, elliptical or cylindrical nannoconids with relatively narrow canals (ct < wt).

Daughter taxa: (blue => in age window 0-800Ma)
				Nannoconus compressus Rectangular to oval with narrow canal
				Nannoconus puer Elliptical to subcircular with relatively narrow canal (less than wall thickness).

Taxonomy:

Citation: N. infans group

Rank: species group

Notes & discussion: informal grouping first used here. The species N. erbae and N. infans were placed in this group but are now considered to belong to Polycostella, following Varol & Bowman (2019).

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: N. infans group [no catalog entry yet], ,

Distinguishing features: Relatively small (<~5µm), subcircular, elliptical or cylindrical nannoconids with relatively narrow canals (ct < wt).

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of Berriasian Stage (100% up, 139.4Ma, in Berriasian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Tithonian Stage (0% up, 152.1Ma, in Tithonian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: this is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. For the customisable plot option go to a genus page Parent: Nannoconus
