Original descriptions of taxa - also emended descriptions for a few taxa. For coccolithophores, and many calcispheres, these are pages from the Farinacci & Howe Catalog of Calcareous Nannofossils. In other cases (e.g. non-calcifying haptophytes) the data is directly compiled on this site. The "Catalogue of Calcareous Nannofossils" was originally compiled by Prof A. Farinacci 1969-1989, since 2000 it has been updated and extended by Richard Howe - see The Farinacci and Howe Catalog - an Introduction.
Taxa are sorted alphabetically for simple browsing, or you can use search boxes at the top & bottom of the page

  • Original Description

    Cellulae sine flagellis, coccolithis typo maxime differentibus praeditae; une singulo coccolitho soleaformi, protoplastum cingente, altero coccolitho anuliformi, multis ad sphaeram quae protoplastum atque singulum cius coccolithum solea-formem includit, formandam inter se adhaerentibus. Unicum genus: Ceratolithus.

    Cells without flagella; with coccoliths of two extremely different types - one a single horseshoe-shaped coccolith that engirdles the protoplast, the other coccolith ring-shaped, and many of them adhering together to form a sphere that encloses the protoplast and its single horseshoe-shaped coccolith. A single genus: Ceratolithus. .
