Petrarhabdus

Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Podorhabdales -> Prediscosphaeraceae -> Petrarhabdus
Sister taxa: Petrarhabdus, Prediscosphaera

Distinguishing features: Prediscosphaera with massive, blocky spine covering most of the distal surface.

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)
				Petrarhabdus copulatus Prediscosphaera with massive, four-part, blocky, square spine covering most of the distal surface.
				Petrarhabdus kirenii
				Petrarhabdus vietus A species of Petrarhabdus in which the spine is significantly smaller than the coccolith. In the LM, the image is very highly birefringent. In the SEM, the spine appears to be composed of three stacks of calcite blocks,
				Petrarhabdus sp. Specimens not identified to species level
