Original descriptions of taxa - also emended descriptions for a few taxa. For coccolithophores, and many calcispheres, these are pages from the Farinacci & Howe Catalog of Calcareous Nannofossils. In other cases (e.g. non-calcifying haptophytes) the data is directly compiled on this site. The "Catalogue of Calcareous Nannofossils" was originally compiled by Prof A. Farinacci 1969-1989, since 2000 it has been updated and extended by Richard Howe - see The Farinacci and Howe Catalog - an Introduction.

    Obliquipithonelloid dinoflagellate cysts with a subspherical endocoel and a peridinioid shape: one apical and two antapical protrusions. The archaeopyle is positioned below the apex of the cysts. It is probably formed by the loss of one or more intercalary plates

    with reference to the peridinioid shape.
