Taxonomy:

Citation: Jimenezberrocosoia Lees & Bown 2016

Rank: Genus

Type species: Jimenezberrocosoia birchiae Lees & Bown 2016

Taxonomic discussion: This genus has central-area features similar to certain species of Sollasites Black, 1967, but is distinct from Sollasites because of the distinctive rim slits. [Lees & Bown 2016]

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: Jimenezberrocosoia

Distinguishing features: Elliptical with slits between shield elements and axial cross

Morphology:

Biscutacean placolith coccoliths with slits between the elements of the distal shield. The narrow to moderately wide, open, elliptical central-areas are spanned by distinct structures, comprising an axial cross and accessory bars. The proximal shield comprises a rim of elongated, widely-spaced elements radiating from the central tube-cycle. [Lees & Bown 2016]
