Mathurosphaera rajivii
Mathurosphaera rajivi Varma and Dangwal, 1964
Acritarch species
Not a dinoflagellate, according to Stover and Evitt, 1978.
Holotype: Varma and Dangwal, 1964, pl.2, figs.11-12
Locus typicus: W India, Cambay Basin, C.D.W. no. 15
Stratum typicum: Eocene-Oligocene
Original diagnosis: Varma and Dangwal, 1964, p.70
Body spherical, light-brown in color, densely granulate, covered with mostly pentagonal or hexagonal fields (4- to 6-sided, occasionally roundish) about 5.6 µm wide. Fields prominent on the surface but their angular boundaries are not raised as in Cymatiosphaera. Processes originating from all over the body. Each process is light-colored, simple, solid, somewhat hairlike, stiff or supple.
Measurements: Diameter of body ca. 45 µm length of processes ca. 7.8-11.7µm.
