Chytroeisphaeridia gochtii
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Chytroeisphaeridia gochtii (Dodekova, 1975, p.31, pl.3, figs.8,10–13) Jansonius, 1986, p.205. Holotype: Dodekova, 1975, pl.3, fig.10. Originally Tectatodinium, subsequently Dodekovia, thirdly (and now) Chytroeisphaeridia. Lentin and Williams (1989, p.61) retained this species in Chytroeisphaeridia. Age: late Bathonian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description as Tectatodinium gochtii: [Dodekova, 1975, p. 31]:
Description:
Ovoidal dinoflagellate cyst. The wall is thick, two-layered. The inner layer is thin, the outer-thick (2.5 µm), with fibrous structure which can be established in optical section of the wall. Surface fine reticulate. On the apical end a thickening of the outer layer is found, which forms a strongly rounded, short apical horn. Furrows are not to be seem.
The archaeopyle is precingular, one plate.
Affinities:
The apical thickening and the pointing of the apex distinguish Tectatodinium gochtii from T. pellitum Wall 1967.
