Nannotax3 - ntax_main - Ethmorhabdus hauterivianus

Citation: Ethmorhabdus hauterivianus (Black, 1971) Applegate et al. in Covington & Wise, 1987

Basionym: Cribrosphaera hauteriviana Black, 1971

Synonyms: Cribrosphaerella hauteriviana

Taxonomic discussion: E. hauterivianus is similar to E. gallicus but Early Cretaceous rather than Late Jurassic in age - it also appers to be somewhat larger, to have a less regular shape and finer, less regular, pores.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Ethmorhabdus): Elliptical, narrow rim; central area wide, spanned by multiperforate net, with or without axial cross and spine.
This taxon: Large (8-12 µm) Ethmorhabdus with finely perforate net, outline often irregular, spine absent

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within Barremian Stage (121.40-126.50Ma, top in Barremian stage). Data source: Bown et al. 1998
First occurrence (base): within Berriasian Stage (137.70-143.10Ma, base in Berriasian stage). Data source: Bown et al. 1998
