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.

  • Editors' Notes
    The name Rhabdosphaera Haeckel 1894 was arguably a junior synonym of Rhabdolithes Schmidt (1870). To aovid this problem the name Rhabdosphaera has been conserved and the name Rhabdolithes has been rejected under both the zoological and botanical codes of nomenclature - Loeblich & Tappan (1963), Braarud et al. (1964),  Doweld (2012), Herendeen 2017, Wilson 2017.
