Wetzeliella glabra var. granulata
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella glabra var. granulata Wilson, 1967
Now Dracodinium granulatum. Originally Wetzeliella subgenus Rhombodinium glabra var. granulata, subsequently Rhombodinium glabrum ssp. granulatum, thirdly (and now) Dracodinium granulatum.
Holotype: Wilson, 1967, fig.30
Age: Late Eocene
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description (Wilson, 1976c)
Holotype: Slide SI36/841/SM971. 39.0X117.2. M39(0); film 169/4; Fig. 30.
Type locality: Rakis Table. Oamaru; Raki Siltstone. Kaiatan(Upper Eocene).
Description: A variety of W. (Rh.) glabra with a coarsely granular periphragm. Granules sometimes aligned in rows indicating possible tabulation.
Dimensions: Holotype: 1=129µm. b=118µm capsule 83p.X83µm apical horn 16µm l. ant. h. 14 µm r. ant. h. 22 µm lat. h. 14 µm Another specimen (S 136/841/13. 32.4 X 1I7.0): 1= 121 µm b = 110 µm capsule 69 µm X 69 µm ap. h. 14 /l. l. ant. h. 8 µm r. ant. h. 22 µm lat. h. 14 µm
Occurence: Known only from the type locality (sample S l36/841) where it is associated with W. (Rh.) glabra and W. (W.) tabulata. In a count of 30 specimens of W. (Rh.) glabra only three belonged to the new variety.
Name derivation: Latin. granulatus. granulated.
