This taxon: Three apparently unique genera, not-included in described families

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: Nannolith genera inc sed [no catalog entry yet]

Morphology:

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): at base of Coniacian Stage (0% up, 89.8Ma, in Turonian 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: Nannolith families inc sed
