Thalassiphora reticulata
Thalassiphora reticulata Morgenroth, 1966
Originally (and now) Thalassiphora, subsequently Disphaeria. Norvick, 1973 transferred this species to Disphaeria Cookson and Eisenack, 1960; however, Lentin and Williams, 1977 retained it in Thalassiphora.
Holotype: Morgenroth, 1966, pl.2, figs.1-2
Age: Early Oligocene
Heilmann-Clausen in Heilmann-Clausen and Costa, 1989, p. 471, pl.19, f1gs.8,9: Thalassiphora cf. reticulata
Only three specimens of this form were recovered, and a closer comparison with T. reticulata is therefore not carried out.
The samples yielding T. cf. reticulata are from notably older beds (Lutetian) than previous records of T. reticulata.
