Spiniferites procerus
Spiniferites procerus Marheinecke 1992
Contrary to the opinion of Lentin and Williams (1993, p.612), Williams et al. (1998, p.576) considered this name to be validly published.
Holotype: Marheinecke, 1992, pl.3, fig.8
Locus typicus: Hemmoor, Lower Saxony, Germany
Stratum typicum: Early Maastrichtian
Translation Marheinecke, 1992: LPP
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.
