Nannotax3 - ntax_non_cocco - Tangential wall

Tangential wall

Classification: ntax_non_cocco -> Dinophytes -> Thoracosphaeraceae -> Tangential wall
Sister taxa: Tangential wall, Radial wall, Oblique wall, Possible Thoracosphaeraceae, Pithonellid, Calcispheres inc sedis, unidentified calcispheres

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Thoracosphaeraceae): Calcareous dinoflagellates
This taxon: Wall formed of crystals with tangential c-axes (Thoracosphara s.l.)

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)		Granddaughter taxa
	Calcigonellum	C. ansatum C. granulatum C. infula C. minutum
	Calciodinellum Cysts with combination archaeopyle - formed from multiple plates and so with indented angular margin.	C. albatrosianum C. levantinum C. clamosum C. elongatum C. kerguelense C. limbatum C. operosum C. sp.
	Centosphaera	C. barbata
	Cervisiella Spherical, with circular archaeopyle, no paratabulation. Wall structure irregular with tangential c-axes.	C. operculata C. saxea C. sp.
	Fuettererella Wall structure with radial fabric but tangential c-axes ("pseudoorthopithonellid")	F. belliata F. conforma F. deflandrei F. elliptica F. flora F. fungiforma F. sp. F. tesserula
	Lebessphaera Cysts with tangential wall-structure and epicystal archaeopyles	L. sp. L. urania
	Operculodinella Like Cervisiella but with paratabulation	O. costata O. hydria O. reticulata
	Scrippsiella Cysts with tangential wall structure and compound archaeopyles. Wall formed of largish non-intelocking elements each with a spine	S. crystallina S. lachrymosa S. minima S. patagonica S. precaria S. rotunda S. sweeneyae S. trifida S. triquetracapitata S. acuminata S. regalis S. fragments S. sp.
	Thoracosphaera	T. wombatensis T. heimii T. eichstaettensis T. prolata T. sp.

Taxonomy:

Synonyms:

Taxonomic discussion: Generic classification within this group is now primarily based on the archaeopyle type - i.e. the number of plates interpreted to have formed the archaeopyle, largely following Streng et al. (2004). Nannofosil workers havetraditionally inlcuded most of these in Thoracosphaera
