Original descriptions of 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.

Original Description

Diagnosis: Unique nannoliths composed of elongated segments that vary in shape, including rectangular and square forms. These segments are arranged at multiple angles in a multitiered construction, resulting in complex hexagonal or cuboidal structures. Erlendmartinia is calcareous and occurs alongside calcareous nannofossils, though its taxonomic affinity remains uncertain.

Etymology:
In honour of Prof Dr Erlend Martini, a Nannofossil specialist in Germany, in recognition of his contributions to taxonomy and biostratigraphy of calcareous nannofossils.
