Rhagodiscus hamptonii

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Rhagodiscus): Loxolith coccoliths with low rim and central-area filled by a granular plate which may be perforate and/or spine-bearing. In xpl the rim is unicyclic moderately bright, the central area is granular, lacking a clear extinction cross.
This taxon: A species of Rhagodiscus with construction and light microscopic image similar to that of R. achlyostaurion, but which is larger (length c. 6.5-8.5 µm, width c. 5.0-6.5 µm), with a relatively narrower rim and broad central area, with no spine or a small spine base.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within Late Albian Substage (100.5-107.59Ma, top in Albian stage). Data source: Kennedy et al., 2000
First occurrence (base): within Late Aptian Substage (112.95-122.98Ma, base in Aptian stage). Data source: Kennedy et al., 2000

Plot of occurrence data:

• Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
• Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
• (NB There is no histogram as there are no occurrence records for the taxon in the Neptune database) Parent: Rhagodiscus
