Broomea pellifera, Alberti, 1961

Now Batioladinium?. Originally Broomea, subsequently (and now) Batioladinium?, thirdly Imbatodinium, fourthly Necrobroomea.
Tax. jr. synonym of Batioladinium micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson, 1960) Brideaux, 1975, according to Wiggins, 1975. Dörhöfer and Davies, 1980, retained Batioladinium? pelliferum as a separate species.
Below, 1990, suggested Batioladinium (as Necrobroomea) exiguum (Alberti, 1961) Brideaux, 1975, may be simply a smooth variant of this species.

Holotype: Alberti, 1961, pl.5, fig.11
Locus typicus: Haverlahwiese near Salzgitter, Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Barremian-Early Aptian

Two short, blunt, antapical horns of unequal length, one +/- reduced. Surface of shell, inclusive horns, covered by a fur-like ornamentation. Transverse-furrow and pylome not observed.

Dimensions:
Holotype: length 77 µm, breadth 38 µm, length of 1. antapical horn 7 µm, 2. c. 2.5 µm.
Range: Length of shell 68-70 µm, breadth 31-37 µm.

Affinities:
B. pellifera differs from B. jaegeri in the well rounded antapex and the fur-like ornamentation of the shell.
