Operculodinium pugiatum
Operculodinium pugiatum Drugg, 1970
Now Lingulodinium. Originally Operculodinium, subsequently (and now) Lingulodinium.
Holotype: Drugg, 1970, fig.16E
Locus typicus: Hinds County, Mississippi, U.S.A.
Stratum typicum: Oligocene
Original description: Drugg, 1970, p. 819
Spherical tract, precingular archeopyle, wall thin and finely granulate. Numerous processes, dagger-shaped in outline, closed proximally and distally. The process walls are thin and smooth. The length of the processes is about 12 to 15 Ám although a few short ones are sometimes interspersed with the normal ones on the ventral side. The tract diameter ranges from 48 to 68 Ám.
Affinities:
Drugg, 1970, p. 819: Operculodinium pugiatum most closely resembles Lingulodinium machaerophorum (Deflandre and Cookson) Wall, 1967, but differs in the mode of archeopyle formation.
