Taxonomy:
Citation: Prinsius bisulcus (Stradner, 1963) Hay & Mohler, 1967Rank: SpeciesBasionym: Coccolithus bisulcus Stradner, in Gohrbandt 1963Taxonomic discussion: Similar to Prinsius martini but larger (>5µm according to Wei & Liu, 1992 but shifted to 5.5µm by Bown 2016). Type material length: 4-6.5µm.
Distinguishing features: Medium sized, elliptical placoliths with conspicuous tube cycle and closed centre. Two ‘grooves’ may be conspicuous along the longitudinal axis.
Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: C. bisulcus + *
Morphology: Medium sized, elliptical placoliths with conspicuous tube cycle and closed centre. Two ‘grooves’ may be conspicuous along the longitudinal axis.
Size: Type material length 4.0-6.5 microns.
Phylogenetic relations: Prinsius increases in size through the Palaeocene but with a marked shift in the Mid Palaeocene (base zone NP4) and the size separation at 5 µm was set to capture this change. Bimodal assemblages occur according to Wei & Liu (1992), suggesting that this may be cladogenetic event.
Most likely ancestor: Prinsius martinii - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Romein 1979, Wei & Liu 1992.
