Calyculaceae


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Podorhabdales -> Calyculaceae
Sister taxa: Axopodorhabdaceae, Biscutaceae, Calyculaceae, Cretarhabdaceae, Mazaganellaceae, Prediscosphaeraceae, Tubodiscaceae

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Podorhabdales): Placolith (or modified placolith) coccoliths showing little or no imbrication. Typically, V-units form distal shield, R-units form proximal shield.
This taxon: Elevated placoliths, tube tall and proximal shield reduced; central-area with variable proximal cover.
The distal shield is formed from V-units and the proximal shield from R-units. Commonly observed in side view.


Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)Granddaughter taxa
Calyculus
High, broad, flaring distal-shield composed of radial, non-imbricating elements, and a proximal-shield which is often reduced to a simple, narrow cycle of elements; central-area structures are highly variable, including numerous bars, concentric structures, nets and grills.
