Broinsonia signata


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Arkhangelskiales -> Arkhangelskiellaceae -> Broinsonia -> Broinsonia signata
Sister taxa: B. parca, B. enormis, B. furtiva, B. gammation ⟩⟨ B. verecundia, B. dentata, B. cenomanica ⟩⟨ B. ethmoquadrata ⟩⟨ B. signata, B. galloisii, B. matalosa, B. viriosa, B. sp.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Broinsonia): Outer rim of V-units, with slight clockwise obliquity, visible on distal surface and form dark rim in LM; central-area spanned by an axial cross, grill or perforate plate. 3 tiers visible in side view.
This taxon: axial cross with open quadrants


Taxonomy:

Citation: Broinsonia signata (Noël, 1969) Noël, 1970
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Aspidolithus signatus Noël, 1969
Taxonomic discussion: This is not a very distinctive species and is possibly largely used for B. dentata type cocoliths in which the crossbars are lost due to preservation
