Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Parhabdolithaceae): Murolith (protolith type) coccoliths with bicylic rims and central-areas spanned by an axial-cross or transverse bar bearing a broad, often long, spine.
This taxon: Protolith coccoliths with high rim, inner rim cycle not clearly developed, upper part of coccolith filled by mass of radiating elements.
Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma) | ||||
Calcivascularis cassidyi Small Calcivascularis with a high number of rim elements, sub-parallel walls, and a circular horizontal outline. | ||||
Calcivascularis jansae Very tall, narrow, steeply sloping rim with a central area filled with a mass of radially arranged elements. Most commonly seen in side view. | ||||
Calcivascularis sp. |
