Original descriptions of taxa - also emended descriptions for a few 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.

  • Original Description

    Diagnosis: Medium-sized (4.0–7.0 μm) circular species of Palaeomicula having four imbricated and triangular segments positioned along the sinusoidal sutures.

    Description: Paleomicula jacovidesii is a circular nannolith having four smooth imbricated and triangular segments and distinct sinusoidal sutures. The thick imbricated edges of the segments along the sinusoidal sutures can be clearly observed.

    Size:
    Dimensions of holotype: Diameter = 5.78 μm.

    Etymology:
    In honor of micropaleontologist Jake Jacovides, Millennia, Lechlade, Glos. GL7 3QQ, United Kingdom.

    Extra details from original publication
    Remarks: Paleomicula jacovidesii is easily distinguished from the other species of Paleomicula by being circular and having sinusoidal sutures and imbricated triangular segments. Tetralithus quadrisphenus and Palaeomicula maltica have quadrate outlines with wedge-shaped segments.

    Occurrence: Paleomicula jacovidesii was recorded in Upper Tithonian sediments of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and the Blake-Bahama Basin, Atlantic Ocean (DSDP Leg 76, Site 534).

    Stratigraphic range: Upper Tithonian.
