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.

Compiled data

Citation: Follisdinellum Versteegh 1993
Taxonomic rank: genus
Type species: Follisdinellum splendidum Versteegh 1993
Farinacci catalog page (& compiler): 16>3


Original Description

Obliquipithonelloid calcareous dinoflagellate cysts. The precingular and antapical plates, and sometimes the 1' plate, are reflected by intratabular lobes. The archaeopyle has an apical orientation and is probably formed by the release of plate 3'.

Etymology:
Latin, follis, balloon. With reference to the shape of the cyst.

Extra details from original publication
Comparison: Follisdinellum most closely resembles the genus Calciperidinium, but differs by lacking a peridinioid shape. Thus far, the type species is the only species within this genus.
