Taxonomy:

Citation: Holococcoliths with bridge over the tube - informal grouping proposed by Young et al., 2003

Rank: informal group of genera

Taxonomic discussion: Note that very few of these species are well-characterised and that species identification is often problematic.

Distinguishing features: Holococcoliths with tube, spanned distally by a bridge

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Zanclean Stage (0% up, 5.3Ma, in Zanclean 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: Holococcoliths
