Taxonomy:

Citation: Podorhabdus Noël, 1965

Rank: Genus

Type species: Podorhabdus grassei Noël, 1965.

Taxonomic discussion: Most species originally described in this genus have since been removed to other genera so it is now essentially monospecific. P? elkefensis is very unlikely to be directly related to P. grassei so should be removed from the genus.

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: Podorhabdus + *

Distinguishing features: Sub-circular, rim broad; central area spanned by a granular bar supporting a broad, tall, hollow, flaring spine.

Morphology: Described by Noël (1965) as having four ‘pillars’ but the type species holotype image shows just two (see discussion in Wise and Wind, 1977). Furthermore, Podorhabdus grassei may be a junior synonym of Rhabdolithus patulus Deflandre, 1954, which was designated the type species of Discorhabdus by Noël (1965).

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): in lower part of Tithonian Stage (42% up, 149.1Ma, in Tithonian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): near top of Aalenian Stage (92% up, 170.6Ma, in Aalenian 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: Axopodorhabdaceae
