Catalog entries: Anthocyrtella callopisma

Original description: Cephalis subglobose, with small pores. Fundamental spicule reduced to bars separating four collar pores. Apical spine thin, vertical. Vertical spine, oblique, very short. No axobate. Collar stricture slightly marked by a progressive change in external contour. Shell conical, consisting of four segments, separated by inner rings. Thorax truncate-conical, spiny, with thin walls perforated by circular pores of irregular size. About 8-10 pores on a half-circumference. Abdomen truncate-conical with longitudinal ribs and spines. A total of 8-10 subcircular pores on a half-circumference. Pores increase in size distally. Fourth segment with indistinct termination, truncate-conical. Large pores of irregular shape and increasing distally. One or two ribs prolonged outward as thin acicular feet of the same length as the fourth segment.

Description


Published descriptions


Petrushevskaya 1975 - Anthocyrtella callopisma

The first three segments are porous and the pores are very large, often irregular in the fourth segment. Some longitudinal ribs may be seen in the walls of the fourth segment. The first segment is the narrowest, the fourth is the broadest. All the segments are separated from one another by the inner ring and the external constriction. Not very abundant but rather typical in the Antarctic Miocene. Some specimens with undeveloped fourth segment (which has very small pores) also occur (Plate 15, Figures 4, 5).
