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.
Taxa are sorted alphabetically for simple browsing, or you can use search boxes at the top & bottom of the page

Combinations:
  • Discoaster aegyptiacus subsp. aegyptiacus El-Dawoody 1988 (basionym) (this appears to be the same species concept, is from the PETM interval, and the designated holotype has 6 rays so the name aegyptiacus should have priority if used at species or sub-species rank) my interpretation - JRY 2021
