Taxonomy:

Citation: Pappomonas sp. type 4 Cros & Fortuño, 2002

Rank: type

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Pappomonas): Coccolith distal rim serrated - elements pentagonal;
Coccosphere polymorphic, processes on only some coccoliths. Calices with 2-fold symmetry
BCs without axial spine or node
This taxon: Central area with two concentric rings and transverse bar
CFC process ca. 2.5 µm high, straight without apical structure, additional ?CFCs have shorter spines (ca. 0.5 µm).

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages:

Size: Coccosphere ca. 6 µm; BCs 1 µm long

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: present in the plankton (Young et al. 2003)
First occurrence (base): within No known fossil record modern (0.00-0.00Ma, base in "Holocene" stage). Data source: [JRY rough estimate]

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
(NB There is no histogram as there are no occurrence records for the taxon in the Neptune database) Parent: Pappomonas
