Broomea jaegeri

Broomea jaegeri, Alberti, 1961

Now Batioladinium. Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium, thirdly Necrobroomea, fourthly Imbatodinium.
Below, 1990, stated that Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960) Brideaux, 1975, is a tax. sr, synonym of Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) jaegeri, according to Davey, 1974. This is incorrect, since Davey, 1974, does not include the holotype of Batioladinium jaegeri in his synonymy listing for Batioladinium (as Broomea) micropodum.
Tax. sr. synonym of Pseudoceratium gochtii Pocock, 1962, according to C. Singh, 1971.
Below, 1990, suggested that Batioladinium? (as Necrobroomea) gochtii (Alberti, 1961) Lentin and Williams, 1977, may be only a more distinctly granulate variant of this species.

Holotype: Alberti, 1961, pl. 5, fig.2
Locus typicus: Haverlahwiese, Salzgitter, central Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Albian

With a more or less offset, long apical process, which narrows towards the free end. Antapical horns short, pointed at the tips, slightly unequally long. Shell surface lightly granulate or smooth.

Dimensions:
holotype: length 149 µm, width 37 µm, length of antapical horns around 7 µm. In other specimens the length varies between 91 and 158 µm, the width between 26 and 40 µm. More than 25 specimens studied.
