Anthosphaeridium
From Williams et al., 2017:
[Anthosphaeridium, Cookson and Eisenack, 1968, p. 115
Fensome and Williams (2004) were incorrect in listing this as an acritarch genus. It's dinoflagellate affinity was confirmed by Schiøler and Wilson (1998, p323), who described an archeopyle for the type.
Type species: Anthosphaeridium convolvuloides, Cookson and Eisenack, 1968 ( fig.4A)]
