Manivitella


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Podorhabdales -> Tubodiscaceae -> Manivitella
Sister taxa: Manivitella, Tubodiscus

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Tubodiscaceae): Elliptical placoliths composed of two narrow shields and a third, narrow, proximally-situated collar cycle that is variable in height. The central-area is broad and open; no central structures have yet been observed. The LM image is dark, although the collar cycle is brighter.
This taxon: Tubodiscids with low proximal collar cycle and wide central-area.


Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
Manivitella fibrosa

Manivitella pemmatoidea
Large to very large (8-15 µm) coccoliths with narrow rim and wide, vacant central area. The rim is bicyclic in XPL and the outer edge of the brighter inner cycle is distinctly beaded.
Manivitella sp.
Specimens not identified to species level
