Baltisphaeridium brevifurcatum
Baltisphaeridium brevifurcatum, (Eisenack, 1954), Downie and Sarjeant, 1965
Now Visbysphaera (an acritarch genus). Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium, thirdly (and now) Visbysphaera (an acritarch genus), fourthly Multiplicisphaeridium (an acritarch genus). This combination was not validly published in Downie and Sarjeant, 1963 since these authors did not fully reference the basionym.
Holotype: Eisenack, 1954, pl.1, fig.2
Age: Siluran (Late Llandovery)
