Carpatella scabrota
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Carpatella scabrota (He Chengquan, 1991, p.172, pl.8, fig.14) Lentin and Williams, 1993, p.82. Holotype: He Chengquan,
1991, pl.8, fig.14. Originally Paraireiana, subsequently (and now) Carpatella. Age: Paleocene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [He Chengquan, 1991]: (translated by Suning Hou, 07-01-2019):
Description:
Cyst dorsal-ventral flattened, body contour nearly circular. There is an apical and antapical horn, papillary, end smooth. The base is connected to the cyst; The apical horn is slightly smaller than the antapical horn, length 3.5 μm, tail length 5 μm.
There is no sulcus, cingulum or inner body.
Cyst wall thickness about 1 μm, two layers close to each other. The surface has dense particles and short wrinkles, looks quite rough.
Archeopyle obvious, the outline nearly square, precingular, P-type, formed by the movement of the third precingular plate. Operculum preserved in-situ.
Dimensions:
Cyst length 72.5 μm, width 65 μm.
Affinities:
This species differs from Paraireiana sinensis in the absence of bridged ridges on the wall surface.
