Spiniferites procerus
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Spiniferites procerus Marheinecke, 1992, p.29–30, pl.3, fig.8. Holotype: Marheinecke, 1992, pl.3, fig.8. Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.612), Williams et al. (1998, p.576) considered this name to be validly published. Age: early Maastrichtian.

Original description: Marheinecke, 1992, p. 29
Cyst habit subsphaeroidal, spiniferate. Wall composed of pedium and luxuria. The luxuria forms finate septae and gonal processes. Intergonal processes are not developed. Septae: muri high, claudate, conflate, sometimes at the base hiate. Cannae are not developed. Ornamentation: Striate to wrinkled. Septae with smooth or serrate margins. On rudimentary septae in the sulcal region, the surface ornamentation of the central body may be developed on the septae. Processes: gonal, distally trifurcate; second order processes very short and developed as membrane. Distal ends of second order processes bifurcate.
