Maturodinium inornatum ssp. reticulatum
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Maturodinium inornatum ssp. reticulatum (Below, 1987b, p.28, pl.7, figs.7–10,13,18; pl.8, figs.12–15) Lentin and Williams, 1989, p.235. Holotype: Below, 1987b, pl.7, figs.7–10,18; Fensome et al., 1993a, fig.3 — p.1237; figs.1–5 — p.1305. Originally Maturodinium inornatum var. reticulatum, subsequently (and now) Maturodinium inornatum subsp. reticulatum. Age: late Pliensbachian–Aalenian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locus typicus: Marloffstein clay pit, Franconia, Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Pliensbachian
Translation Below, 1987: Fensome et al., 1993
Original description: Below, 1987, p.28: Maturodinium inornatum var. reticulatum
A nonareate variant of the species Maturodinium inornatum in which granulae are fused to form the broad muri of the reticulum, which covers the cyst uniformly, and can be provided by reflected trichocyst pores.
Size: Holotype: length 63 µm, breadth 41 µm, thickness 40 µm.
