Zeugrhabdotus burwellensis


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Eiffellithales -> Chiastozygaceae -> Zeugrhabdotus -> Zeugrhabdotus burwellensis
Sister taxa: Z. blowii, Z. burolettii, Z. burwellensis, Z. erectus, Z. fissus, Z. moulladei, Z. noeliae ⟩⟨ Z. bicrescenticus, Z. diplogrammus, Z. fluxus, Z. howei, Z. petrizzoae, Z. reticulatus, Z. scutula ⟩⟨ Z. biperforatus, Z. kerguelenensis, Z. large spine, Z. clubhousensis ⟩⟨ Z. clarus, Z. acanthus, Z. trivectis, Z. xenotus ⟩⟨ Z. angelozziae, Z. cooperi, Z. embergeri, Z. praesigmoides, Z. sigmoides, Z. simplex, Z. streetiae, Z. sp.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Zeugrhabdotus): Murolith (loxolith) coccoliths with central area spanned by variably constructed transverse bar. The bar is usually spine bearing. Inner/proximal rim cycle is variably developed and so the LM image may be unicyclic or bicyclic. Delicate lateral bars may also be present but are generally only seen in exceptional preservation.
This taxon: Unicyclic, small (4-6 µm); bar complex; broad rim/small openings


Taxonomy:

Citation: Zeugrhabdotus burwellensis (Black, 1972) Burnett, 1997
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Crepidolithus burwellensis Black, 1972
Taxonomic discussion: Large specimens identified by Jeremiah (1996) as Crepidolithus burwellensis are here reassigned to Rhagodiscus robustus
