Cleistosphaeridium furcillatum
Cleistosphaeridium furcillatum, Prössl, 1990
This name was not validly published in Prössl (1990, p.100), since that author did not specify the lodgment of the holotype.
Holotype: Prössl, 1990, pl.7, figs.12,14; Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, pl.49, figs.1-2.
Locus typicus: Salzgitter, NW-Germany
Stratum typicum: Hauterivian-Early Barremian

Original description: [Prössl, 1990, p. 100]:
Dignosis:
The chorate cyst is sphaerical to subsphaerical and consists of a smooth autophragm, which is covered by numerous bifurcate to multifurcate processes.
Description:
The solid processes are bifid, the tips can be slightly recurvate.
The processes are about 2 µm thick and smooth. From the distribution of processes no hint on tabulation, parasulcus or paracingulum is available.
The archaeopyle is apical, type tA.
Affinities:
The species shows similarities to C. tribuliferum but differs from this in the stronger furcation of the processes, which are more numerous and thicker, too.
