Kenleyia xinjiangensis
Kenleyia xinriangensis He Chengquan, 1991
Holotype: He Chengquan, 1991, pl.12, fig.1
Age: Early Eocene
Description from He Chengquan, 1991, translated by Suning Hou, 07-01-2019
Description: Body outline elongated oval or elongated pentagon, divided into nearly equal parts by the cingulum: Epicyst equilateral triangle, no significant apex structure; Hypocyst inverted trapezoid, antapex wide round, with a strong antapical horn, truncated conical, length 15μm, the base width about 12μm, the end width 6μm and a small hole. The wall is thick with some fibrous septa on the surface; The sept edges are intact or fragmented distally, sometimes wrinkle, often extending out of the contour in the form of "process" and the wall surfaces between the septas is short wrinkled. Cingulum equatorial position, roughly ring-shaped, with septa as its boundary. Archeopyle precingular, square or horseshoe shape, but the outline is fuzzy, marked by the main archeopyle crack around the third precingular plate. operculum preserved in situ.
Cyst length 90μm, width 60μm, body length 70 μm, width 50μm, septa height 5-7.5μm
Comparison and Annotation: This species differs from Kenleyia conspicua inlack of apical horn, surface with septa and small archeopyle. The direction of this specimen is based on the vaguely archeopyle.
Location and stratigraphy: Wuqia County, Basebulak; Qimugen fm upper member.
