Orthorhabdus striatus


Classification: ntax_main -> Nannolith families inc sed -> Ceratolithaceae -> Orthorhabdus -> Orthorhabdus striatus
Sister taxa: O. serratus, O. rugosus, O. striatus, O. rioi, O. finifer, O. extensus, O. sp.


Taxonomy:
Citation: Orthorhabdus striatus ( Muller, 1974) Young & Bown 2014
Taxonomic rank: species
Basionym: Triquetrorhabdulus striatus (Muller, 1974)
Taxonomic discussion: Some specimens are dramatically different from typical O. rugosus but they vary considerably, and weak ridges occur on some typical O. rugosus specimens (e. g. Gartner 1967 pl. 9/1).

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Orthorhabdus): Elongate nannoliths formed of three blades, with c-axis perpendicular to length. Usually curved and asymmetric. Shows low to moderate birefringence.
This taxon: Orthorhabdus species similar to O. rugosus but with subsidiary ridges on one of the lateral blades.

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages:
T. striatus *


Morphology:
The subsidiary ridges seem to be primarily devolped on the lower surface of the nannolith (i.e. on the opposite side to the axial blade).
