Classification: ntax_cenozoic -> Coccolith families inc sed -> Coccolith genera inc sed -> Pedinocyclus
Sister taxa: Aliculosphaera, Biantholithus, Camuralithus, Centumgemina, Ellipsolithus, Gladiolithus, Ilselithina, Leesella, Pedinocyclus, Petasus

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
				Pedinocyclus gibbsiae Medium to large, circular coccoliths with broad rim, narrow, bright inner tube cycle (in XPL) and open central-area. Rim elements are strongly inclined.
				Pedinocyclus larvalis Large circular coccoliths with broad, flat shield and rim elements joined along inclined sutures. Shield is dark in XPL but a narrow, brighter tube cycle is usually visible.
				Geminilithella okayi
				Pedinocyclus sp. Specimens which cannot be assigned to any established species

Taxonomy:

Citation: Pedinocyclus Bukry & Bramlette, 1971

Rank: Genus

Type species: Pedinocyclus larvalis (Bukry & Bramlette, 1969) [Leptodiscus]

Synonyms: Leptodiscus Bukry & Bramlette (1969) - it was renamed Pedinocyclus since the name Leptodiscus was already used for a dinoflagellate.

Distinguishing features: Typically circular planolith coccoliths with broad, flat shield and rim elements joined along inclined sutures. Shield is dark in XPL but a narrow, brighter tube cycle may be present.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): in upper part of Chattian Stage (73% up, 24.4Ma, in Chattian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): in lower part of Ypresian Stage (22% up, 54.2Ma, in Ypresian 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. See also: customisable plot Parent: Coccolith genera inc sed
