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

Extra details from original publication
Eight records of M. lutheri were obtained at Tvärminne, and three from Gässtens Viten in the Öregrund archipelago, Sweden. Of the eiggt Tvärminne records, four were from Type III pools. The limits of the salinity range in which it was found are great ('fable 10), but salt pools were favoured. In five of the records it was abundant and was extremely dense, colouring the water brown in two of them. These two were small pools 3 cm. deep and on the verge of drying up, with salinities of 9 and 33 °/00 respectively.
