Original descriptions of taxa. For coccolithophores, and many calcispheres, these are pages from the Farinacci & Howe Catalog of Calcareous Nannofossils. In other cases (e.g. non-calcifying haptophytes) the data is directly compiled on this site. The "Catalogue of Calcareous Nannofossils" was originally compiled by Prof A. Farinacci 1969-1989, since 2000 it has been updated and extended by Richard Howe - see The Farinacci and Howe Catalog - an Introduction.

Editors' Notes
Whilst the revised B. quadratus illustrated by TEM appears to be a Nannoconus the specimens illustrated by LM in the original decriptions probably are not, since they are described as behaving as single crystals in LM. The drawings are too sketchy to identify and may be of inorganic crystals. Since B. quadratus has been designated the type species the genus is junior synonym of Nannoconus.
