Taxonomy:

Citation: Pemma bybeliae Self-Trail, 2011

Rank: Species

Distinguishing features: Large, circular Pemma with a diagnostic thin base with crenulated edges. Central area consists of a layer of basal thickenings superimposed on the base, resulting in a hazy appearance of the outer edge of the nannolith and a central area more highly birefringent than the edges.

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: P. bybelliae *

Morphology: Similar in shape to P. rotundum, which lacks the thin base exhibited by P. bybelliae. Pemma balium is the only other described member of this genus to exhibit a thin base, and it is easily distinguished from P. bybelliae by its subcircular outline (Self-Trail 2011).

Size: Diamter 7.5-13.5µm
