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.

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.
