Codonia campanulata
Codonia campanulata, Cookson and Eisenack, 1960
Now Codoniella, Originally Codonia (an illegitimate generic name), subsequently (and now) Codoniella.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, pl.3, fig.1
Locus typicus: Carnavron Basin, Australia
Stratum typicum: Santonian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, p.11]:
Description:
Shell approximately sphaerical, with a short truncate neck (in the type) and two relatively large campanulate or trumpet-shaped projections. The wall of the projections is thin and transparent, and strengthened by clearly defined fibrous loops which widen distally. The projections appear to be connected with one another and with the surface of the shell by a membrane which extends tangentially between their anterior and posterior limits.
Dimensions:
Holotype: overall length 128 µm; diameter of shell about 46 µm; projections 45 µm and 38 µm long, 58 µm and 46 µm wide.
Range: overall length 120-128 µm.
