Nannotax3 - ntax_mesozoic - Arkhangelskiales

Arkhangelskiales

Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Arkhangelskiales
Sister taxa: Arkhangelskiales, Eiffellithales, Stephanolithiales, Podorhabdales, Watznaueriales, Syracosphaerales, Heterococcoliths inc sedis ⟩⟨ Holococcoliths, Braarudosphaerales, Nannoliths inc sedis, Mesozoic non–coccoliths, hidden

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (ntax_mesozoic): Mesozoic nannofossils - Cenozoic and extant taxa are in a separate module
This taxon: Tiered placoliths with 3-5 closely-appressed shields.

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)		Granddaughter taxa
	Arkhangelskiellaceae Arkhangelskielids with shields predominantly formed of R-units, thus bright in cross-polarised light; V-units often form dark outer rim.	Arkhangelskiella Broinsonia Thiersteinia
	Kamptneriaceae Arkhangelskielids with shields predominantly formed of V-units, thus dark in cross-polarised light; R-units form bright band at core of shield.	Crucicribrum Gartnerago Kamptnerius Senilatus

Citation: Arkhangelskiales Bown & Hampton, 1997 in Bown & Young, 1997

Rank: Order

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: Arkhangelskiales

Morphology:

Central-area structures include transverse bars with proximal net; axial or near axial crosses with proximal net; and perforate plates crossed by axial or near axial sutures. LM images vary significantly, from predominantly dark in the Kamptneriaceae, to predominantly bright in the Arkhangelskiellaceae.
The Kamptneriaceae appears to have originated from loxolith coccoliths, and the tiered placolith rim structure is actually a modified loxolith construction. The earliest representatives of the family are only slightly modified loxolith coccoliths.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of Maastrichtian Stage (100% up, 66Ma, in Danian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Valanginian Stage (0% up, 139.4Ma, in Berriasian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: this is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. For the customisable plot option go to a genus page Parent: ntax_mesozoic
