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. | |||||
Kamptneriaceae Arkhangelskielids with shields predominantly formed of V-units, thus dark in cross-polarised light; R-units form bright band at core of shield. |

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.
Morphology:
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.
