Broinsonia enormis


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Arkhangelskiales -> Arkhangelskiellaceae -> Broinsonia -> Broinsonia enormis
Sister taxa: B. parca, B. enormis, B. furtiva, B. gammation ⟩⟨ B. verecundia, B. dentata, B. cenomanica ⟩⟨ B. ethmoquadrata ⟩⟨ B. signata, B. galloisii, B. matalosa, B. viriosa, B. sp.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Broinsonia): Outer rim of V-units, with slight clockwise obliquity, visible on distal surface and form dark rim in LM; central-area spanned by an axial cross, grill or perforate plate. 3 tiers visible in side view.
This taxon: Medium-sized (<9 µm); central structure imperforate plate; rim broad


Taxonomy:

Citation: Broinsonia enormis (Shumenko, 1968) Manivit, 1971
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Arkhangelskiella enormis Shumenko, 1968
Synonyms:
Variants: Aspidolithus latus Noel, 1969 = Broinsonia lata (Noel, 1969) Noel 1970 - wider central area
Taxonomic discussion: The 9 µm size separation from B. parca follows Linnert et al. (2014)

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Broinsonia): Outer rim of V-units, with slight clockwise obliquity, visible on distal surface and form dark rim in LM; central-area spanned by an axial cross, grill or perforate plate. 3 tiers visible in side view.
This taxon: Medium-sized (<9 µm); central structure imperforate plate; rim broad


Morphology:

The absence of pores in the plate may be diagenetic, and so separation from B. furtiva is tenuous,  as discussed by Thierstein (1974).
