Multiplicisphaeridium cruciatum
Multiplicisphaeridium cruciatum (Wetzel, 1933b, p.94–95, pl.4, fig.30 ex Lejeune-Carpentier, 1940, p.B222) Stancliffe and Sarjeant, 1994, p.235. Emendation: Lejeune-Carpentier and Sarjeant, 1981, p.22–23, as Veryhachium cruciatum.
Originally Hystrichosphaera (name not validly published), subsequently Hystrichosphaeridium, thirdly Hystrichosphaeridium?, fourthly Veryhachium, fifthly (and now) Multiplicisphaeridium?. Questionable assignment: Stancliffe and Sarjeant (1994, p.235). The name Hystrichosphaera cruciata was not validly published in Wetzel (1933b) since the generic name Hystrichosphaera was not validly published until 1937.
Holotype: Wetzel, 1933b, pl.4, fig.30.
Age: Late Cretaceous.
