Trithyrodinium vermiculatum
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Trithyrodinium vermiculatum (Cookson and Eisenack, 1961a, p.74, pl.12, figs.6–8) Lentin and Williams, 1976, p.100.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1961a, pl.12, fig.6. Originally Hexagonifera, subsequently (and now) Trithyrodinium.
Locus typicus: Victoria, Australia
Stratum typicum: Senonian
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: Cookson and Eisenack, 1961, p. 74: Hexagonifera vermiculata
Shell oval to almost circular in outline, surface ornamented with close and rather heavy vermiculate thickenings or a small-meshed thin-walled reticuloid pattern. The lid is seldom seen in position but the 6-sided shape of the opening indicates its shape. Remains of an outer transparent membrane are sometimes present.
Dimensions: Type--length 67 µm, breadth 58 µm. Range--length 56-76 µm, breadth 47-70 µm.
