Manivitella fibrosa


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Podorhabdales -> Tubodiscaceae -> Manivitella -> Manivitella fibrosa
Sister taxa: M. fibrosa, M. pemmatoidea, M. sp.


Taxonomy:

Citation: Manivitella fibrosa Kanungo et al. 2020
taxonomic rank: Species
Taxonomic discussion: In XPL this species is darker than M. pemmatoidea and the distal shield is more finely striated. The outer edge of the inner cycle is not beaded in appearance, which makes the separation easier from M. pemmatoidea. This species does not have a clearly bicyclic appearance (in XPL) that is characteristic of the genus Tubodiscus (e.g., T. burnettiae), hence it is placed under the genus Manivitella. [Kanungo et al. 2020]

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: M. fibrosa *


Morphology:

Large, elliptical placolith with a narrow, striated rim and a broad, vacant central area. The rim is composed of two narrow shields that are dark in XPL and a third, very narrow and rather high collar-cycle which is bright in XPL. The distal shield has a highly striated appearance in XPL. Under PC, the rim appears as a dark band of uniform thickness. [Kanungo et al. 2020]
