Nannotax3 - Coccolithophores

tubeless

Classification: Coccolithophores -> Holococcoliths -> tubeless
Sister taxa: tubeless, convex, bridged, flat-topped, septate, open-tube, fossil holococcoliths,

Distinguishing features: Holococcoliths without a tube, flat or cap-shaped

Daughter taxa (blue => in age window 0-300Ma)		Granddaughter taxa
	Anthosphaera fried egg shape, dimorphic (CFCs with large leaf-like process)	S. molischii HOL A. lafourcadii A. origami A. periperforata A. sp. type C A. sp.
	Sphaerocalyptra	S. quadridentata S. adenensis S. dermitzakii S. youngii S. sp. 1 S. sp. 2 S. sp. 3 S. sp. 4 S. sp. 5 S. sp. 6 S. sp. Y S. sp.
	flat (coccolithaceae HOLs) Liths are planar disks, variable ultrastructure. Cocospheres monomorphic. The species were formerly in Crystallolithus	C. leptoporus subsp. leptoporus HOL C. pelagicus subsp. braarudii HOL C. pelagicus subsp. pelagicus HOL
	flat dimorphic BCs disks, may have ridge CFCs with transverse ridge of bridge	C. strigilis S. nana HOL
	fried egg monomorphic BCs with flat rim and central protrusion, no marginal perforations, CFCs similar to BCs	A. quattrospina HOL s. aff. quattrospina HOL
	tubeless-minute Lightly calcified holococcolihs, <1µm across; typically organic scales with weak calcification	Balaniger HOL Calciarcus Quaternariella HOL

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Gelasian Stage (1.81-2.59Ma, base in Gelasian 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
