Canningia spongireticulata
Canningia spongireticulata, Prössl, 1990
Name not validly published since lodgment of holotype not specified.
Holotype: Prössl, 1990, pl.13, figs.2, 5
Locus typicus: Salzgitter, NW-Germany
Stratum typicum: Late Albian-Middle Turonian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [Prössl, 1990, p. 97]: (Translation: LPP):
Diagnosis:
Sphaerical to polygonal cyst with spongious ectophragm, which is supported by a wide-meshed reticulum.
Description:
The two-layered cyst shows a smooth to porous ectophragm. This is supported by a spongious filling which is divided by, also spongious, septae. The arrangement of septae shows a wide-meshed, polygonal reticulum which seems to reflect the following tabulation scheme: 4", 6"", Xc, 6""", 1p, 1"""".
Affinities:
C. spongireticulatum differs from other Canningia species by the distinctive, wide-meshed reticulum. In some cases, the intratabular filling may be destroyed, so that just the reticulum remains.
