Taxonomy:

Citation: Vacherauvillius Goy in Goy et al., 1979

Rank: Genus

Type species: not designated

Variants:

Saeptella Goy 1979 - another genus of minute elliptical cocoliths with imbricate rims, but with axial cross and grill in central area. This range of variation in central area strucute would normally be included in one genus (see e,g, Papposphaera or Pappomonas) [my interpretation - JRY 2017]

Distinguishing features: Muroliths with axial, lateral and concentric bars spanning the central-area.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of Toarcian Stage (100% up, 174.2Ma, in Toarcian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Toarcian Stage (0% up, 182.7Ma, in Toarcian 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. See also: customisable plot Parent: Chiastozygaceae
