Nannotax3 - ntax_cenozoic - Syracosphaera anthos HOL

Citation: Syracosphaera anthos (Lohmann 1912) Janin, 1987 HOL

Synonyms: Periphyllophora mirabilis (Schiller 1925) Kamptner 1937
Calyptrosphaera? mirablilis Schiller 1925
Corisphaera stellulata Lecal-Schlauder 1951 [clearly recognisable - JRY]
Rhabdosphaera ampullacea Lecal-Schlauder 1951 [clearly recognisable - JRY]

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (bridged): Holococcoliths with tube, spanned distally by a bridge
This taxon: Monomorphic; coccoliths with tube spanned by narrow bridge extended into leaf (helladoliths)

Cros et al. (2000) illustrate two good examples of combination coccospheres with Syracosphaera anthos

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: present in the plankton (Young et al. 2003)
First occurrence (base): within Pliocene Epoch (2.59-5.33Ma, base in Zanclean stage). Data source:
