Nannotax3 - ntax_Farinacci - Calyptrosphaera

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.
Taxa are sorted alphabetically for simple browsing, or you can use search boxes at the top & bottom of the page

Die Schale wird aus dicht gelagerten, undurchbohrten Coccolithen von Napfform zusammengesetzt, und zwar sind die Coccolithen so orientiert, daß der Boden außen, die Mündung innen liegt. Das Gehäuse ist im aktiven Stadium mit einer polständigen Mündung versehen. Die Macrotheken sind geschlossen. Von der Zelle ist nur bekannt, daß sie zwei grünlichgelbe oder diatominfarbene plattenförmige große Chromatophoren besitzt, von denen ein jeder wenigstens einen stark lichtbrechenden kugeligen Körper angelagert enthält.

Google translatation:
The shell is made up of dense, unperforated coccoliths in the shape of a bowl, and the coccoliths are oriented in such a way that the bottom is on the outside and the mouth is on the inside. In the active stage, the housing is provided with a pole-shaped mouth. The macrotheca are closed. All that is known of the cell is that it has two greenish-yellow or diatom-colored plate-shaped large chromatophores, each of which contains at least one highly refractive spherical body attached.

Species included C. globosa and C. oblonga. Neither of these is designated type.
