Wuroia capnosa
Wuroia capnosa Stover and Helby 1987
Holotype: Stover and Helby 1987, fig. 28 B, C
Locus typicus: Lower Shale unit in the Papuan Basin
Stratum typicum: Wanea digitata Zone, Callovian
Description. Stover and Helby 1987, p. 129-130
Organic walled microfossils, of unknown affinity, with an elongate, narrowly ellipsoidal to crescent-shaped body composed of a single wall layer. One end of body narrowly rounded, occasionally somewhat pointed and closed; other end truncate and open. Margin of the opening irregular, ragged to indistinctly angular. Body wall thin (less than 1µm), smooth faintly wrinkled, often with scattered, minute granules less than1 µm in diameter and height. Two or more, prominent, longitudinal folds consistently present and transverse folds also present. One or more longitudinal folds commonly extend the entire length of body or over a significant part of its length. Specimens 160-222 µm long, 45-72 µm wide; 10 specimens measured
