He Chengquan and Sun Xuekun, 1996; Tianjinella, a new dinoflagellate genus from the Eocene of southern Tianjin, China. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, Volume 92, nos. 3-4: 383-388 Tianjinella elliptica He and Sun, gen. et sp. nov., a probably gonyaulacacean dinoflagellate cyst, is described from the Eocene of southern Tianjin, China. Being associated with a brackish-water environment and restricted to the upper part of Member 3 of the Shahejie Formation, this new taxon could be a potentially useful biostratigraphic marker for the Eocene strata around the coastal region of the Bohai Sea. The new combination Tianjinella ovata is also proposed.
