Kenleyia fimbriata
Kenleyia fimbriata Cookson and Eisenack, 1967
Now Muratodinium. Originally Kenleyia, subsequently (and now) Muratodinium.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1967, pl.40, fig.3
Age: Paleocene
Original description: Cookson and Eisenack, 1961, p.252:
Shell broadly oval, somewhat flattened, typically with a relatively short, solid, blunt or sharply- pointed apical and antapical horn and usually an indistinctly delimited girdle. The surface is more or less clearly marked out into a few large, approximately circular areas by vertical lace-like fringes of varying widths. Usually these areas, which frequently are most clearly outlined on the dorsal surface to the right and left of the mid- line, pass over the lateral margins to the ventral surface. The archeopyle is rather large, precingular and hoof- shaped. The surface of the shell is finely and closely granular.
