Pseudoceratium nudum
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Pseudoceratium? nudum Gocht, 1957, p.168, pl.18, figs.3–4,6. Holotype: Gocht, 1957, pl.18, fig.3. Originally Pseudoceratium?, subsequently Odontochitina, thirdly (and now) Pseudoceratium. Questionable assignment: Gocht (1957, p.168); however, Bint (1986, p.145) retained this species in Pseudoceratium without question. Age: late Hauterivian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation Gocht, 1957: LPP
Original diagnosis: Gocht, 1957, p. 168
Shell with three very narrow, thin and elongated horns. Shell smooth and without ornamentation.
Dimensions: Holotype: Length 216 µm, width ca. 50 µm. Apical horn ca. 75 µm. Antapical horns 57 µm and 25 µm. Range: Length 190-228 µm, width 45-70 µm.
Affinities: Gocht, 1957, p. 168
The species differs from P. pelliferum by being larger, by the elongated horns and the lack of ornamentation. The shell pale and nearly colourless. Apical and antapical horns on one axis.
