Taxonomy:

Citation: Hayaster Bukry, 1973

Rank: Genus

Type species: Discoaster perplexus Bramlette & Riedel 1954

Taxonomic discussion: The Hayaster structure is essentially the same as Calcidiscus, but with reduced proximal shield. Only the one species H. perplexa has been described.

Distinguishing features: Coccoliths polygonal, thin; proximal shield much smaller than distal

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: Hayaster *

Morphology: Placolith coccoliths with thin nearly flat distal shield, reduced number of rays and very small proximal; distal shield with straight sutures; dark in cross-polars.
