Melitasphaeridium choanophorum var. reductum
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Melitasphaeridium choanophorum var. reductum Strauss and Lund, 1992, p.165–166, pl.2, figs.12–14; text-fig.2. Holotype: Strauss and Lund, 1992, pl.2, figs.13–14. Age: Middle Miocene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paratype: Strauss and Lund, 1992
Locus typicus: Papendorf sand pit (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany)
Stratum typicum: Miocene (Langenfeldian)
Original diagnosis: Strauss and Lund, 1992, p.165-166
A variation of M. choanophorum with completely reduced distal aculeate process-funnels, or with very narrow buccinate distal processterminations with smooth or short-spined margins. Number and arrangement of processes and archaeopyle formation coincides with the nominal species.
