Hystrichosphaeridium eoinodes
Hystrichosphaeridium eoinodes Eisenack, 1958
Now Kleithriasphaeridium. Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Cordosphaeridium, thirdly (and now) Kleithriasphaeridium.
Tax. sr. synonym of Kleithriasphaeridium simplicispinum (Davey and Williams, 1966) Davey, 1974, according to Below, 1982.
Holotype: Eisenack, 1958, pl.27, fig.3; Sarjeant 1985, pl.5, figs.3-4
Locus typicus: N Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Albian
Translation Eisenack, 1958: Sarjeant, 1985
Original diagnosis: Eisenack 1958, p. 402
Central shell globular, set with numerous appendages, which originate from broad bases, then taper, to broaden (again), divide and separate into fibres at their ends. Their length lies between the diameter and the radius of the shell.
Dimensions: Central body: 30-35 µm; overall size: 62-71 µm.
Affinities:
Eisenack 1958, p. 402: This species is obviously related to H.inodes subs. gracilis from the Oligocene, only the Tertiary species is distinctly larger (diameter up to 176 µm) and the processes are more clearly arranged in a "Y-form".
