Oligosphaeridium coelenteratum
Oligosphaeridium "?coelenteratum" (Tasch in Tasch et al., 1964, p.195, pl.2, fig.11) Davey and Williams, 1969, p.5.
Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Oligosphaeridium?.
Taxonomic senior synonym: Hystrichosphaeridium (now Oligosphaeridium) albertense, by implication in Stover and Evitt (1978, p.69), who considered Hystrichosphaeridium (subsequently Oligosphaeridium) coelenteratum to be a taxonomic junior synonym of Hystrichosphaeridium (subsequently Oligosphaeridium) irregulare, which is now a taxonomic junior synonym of Hystrichosphaeridium (now Oligosphaeridium) albertense. Questionable assignment: Davey and Williams (1969, p.5). This combination, as a questionable assignment, was not validly published in Davey and Williams (1966b, p.77), since these authors did not fully reference the basionym. Fauconnier and Cornu in Fauconnier and Masure (2004, p.403) listed this as a problematic species but apparently accepted the synonymy cited above.
Holotype: Tasch et al., 1964, pl.2, fig.11.
Age: Albian.
