Valensiella reticulata
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Valensiella reticulata ((Davey, 1969a, p.142, pl.3, fig.7; pl.4, fig.3) Courtinat, 1989, p.184.
Holotype: Davey, 1969a, pl.4, fig.3.
NOW Cassiculosphaeridia. Originally (and now) Cassiculosphaeridia, subsequently Valensiella.
Locus typicus: Escalles, France
Stratum typicum: Cenomanian
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original diagnosis: Davey, 1969, p.142: Cassiculosphaeridia reticulata
Shell spherical to subspherical. Shell surface bearing low ridges, forming a coarse reticulation, from which arise fine membranous crests. Shell wall lightly to densely granular.
Original description: Davey, 1969, p.142: Cassiculosphaeridia reticulata
The areas delimited by the low ridges are typically subpolygonal but may be of irregular shape. They vary considerably in size, from 2 to 10 µm in diameter. The membranous crests are very fine and tend to be flexuous since supporting structures are absent.
