Wetzeliella (Rhombodinium) miniscula
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella (Rhombodinium) miniscula Alberti, 1961
Originally (and now) Rhombodinium, subsequently Wetzeliella subgenus Rhombodinium.
Holotype: Alberti, 1961, pl.1, fig.10; pl.12, fig.4
Locus typicus: Hildesheim, Germany
Stratum typicum: Lower Eocene
Translation Alberti, 1961: LPP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original diagnosis: Alberti, 1961, p. 10
Shell flattened, almost rhomboedrical; wepitheca triangular slightly elongated. Lateral horns short, indented at the free ends. Transverse furrow indicated. Epitheca shorter than the inverse hat-shaped hypotheca. With two antapical bulges, seperated by parallel to the longitudinal direction running gap. Presumably with a delicate inner body. The shell membrane is transparent, yellowish. A transverse furrow is indicated on one side ( may be a fault). A pylome is questionable.
