Nannotax3 - ntax_mesozoic - Mesozoic non–coccoliths

Mesozoic non–coccoliths

Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Mesozoic non–coccoliths
Sister taxa: Arkhangelskiales, Eiffellithales, Stephanolithiales, Podorhabdales, Watznaueriales, Syracosphaerales, Heterococcoliths inc sedis ⟩⟨ Holococcoliths, Braarudosphaerales, Nannoliths inc sedis, Mesozoic non–coccoliths, hidden

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (ntax_mesozoic): Mesozoic nannofossils - Cenozoic and extant taxa are in a separate module
This taxon: Calcispheres and other non-coccoliths found in nannofossil preps. Some taxa previously placed here have been moved to the calcareous dinoflagellates pages [Feb 2017].

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)		Granddaughter taxa
	Carnicalyxia	Carnicalyxia tabellata Carnicalyxia sp.
	Cassianospica	Cassianospica curvata Cassianospica sp.
	Prinsiosphaera Spherical, solid nannolith formed from stacked groups of calcite plates.	Prinsiosphaera triassica Prinsiosphaera sp.
	Schizosphaerellaceae Large globular test with two interlocking sub-hemispherical valves formed from a geometric arrangement of equidimensional crystallites.	Schizosphaerella

Taxonomy:

Rank: Informal group of families

Taxonomic discussion: Most non-coccoliths are included in the non-coccoliths module ("Other groups" item in the menubar), these taxa are included here, however, since they are very characteristic parts of early Mesozoic nannofossil assemblages.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of Kimmeridgian Stage (100% up, 152.1Ma, in Kimmeridgian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Carnian Stage (0% up, 237Ma, in Carnian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: this is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. For the customisable plot option go to a genus page Parent: ntax_mesozoic
