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

Described on page(s) : 59

  • Reticulofenestraineae Varol 2025 (basionym)

  • Original Description

    Diagnosis: Circular to elliptical placoliths with single-tiered distal and proximal shields, and either a single tube cycle (e.g., Noelaerhabdaceae) or double tube cycles (e.g., Ellipsagelosphaeraceae). In plan view, the shields exhibit inclined extinction lines and length-fast (-) elongation. The central area may be open, closed, or occupied by internal structures.
