Comparodinium stipulatum
Comparodinium stipulatum, Wille and Gocht, 1979
Holotype: Wille and Gocht, 1979, figs.17a-b, fig.28, nos.9-12
Locus typicus: Jebenhausen, Swabian Alb, S Germany
Stratum typicum: Early Pliensbachian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [Wille and Gocht, 1979, p. 237]: (Translation: LPP):
Diagnosis:
Body ellipsoidal to oval. Wall thin, single-layered, without structure.
The entire surface is set with slender, relatively short processes, which may be distally pointed or blunted. The process distribution is generally irregular; at best, a sutural arrangement of the elements is indicated at the cingulum and the anterior intercalary region. Occasionally a longitudinal arrangement of small thorns occurs.
Apical archaeopyle with two separate lids.
Dimensions:
holotype length 32 µm, width 21 µm.
Affinities: (p. 238):
C. stipulatum most resembles C. perpunctatum in the approximately regular distribution of sculptural elements. The latter species, however, has only short cones instead of thorns.
