Cenozoic Taxa

Zygrhablithus bijugatus (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert, 1954) Deflandre, 1959 cornutus Bown, 2005

Description: Medium-sized spinose holococcolith comprising a rim and central process; the spine is relatively long, has a narrow axial canal and short lateral protrusions or horns at its distal end (two in side view).

Remarks:

Range: NP14b to NP23.

Zygrhablithus bijugatus (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert, 1954) Deflandre, 1959 nolfi Steurbaut 1990

Description: Small to medium sized spinose holococcolith comprising a rim and central process; the spine is short and broad (the coccoliths are typically wider than high), has a notch just above the height of the rim, and a rather broad axial canal.

Remarks:

Range: NP10 to NP15b.

Zygrhablithus bijugatus bijugatus (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert, 1954) Deflandre, 1959

Description: Medium to large spinose holococcoliths comprising a rim and central process; the spine has a narrow axial canal and tapers uniformally to a distal point or blunt termination.

Remarks: Zygrhablithus bijugatus is currently differentiated into forms with moderately tall spines (Z. bijugatus bijugatus), short spines (Z. bijugatus nolfii Steurbaut, 1990, Z. sileensis Varol, 1989) and spines with lateral horns (Z. bijugatus cornutus).

Range: NP6 to NN1.

Synonym: Zygrhablithus kerabyi (Perch-Nielsen, 1971)

Zygrhablithus Deflandre, 1959

Description: Spinose holococcoliths, which are birefringent in side view. In plan view the coccoliths are non-birefringent with a distinct figure-of-eight shaped central structure.

Remarks:

Range:

Type species: Zygrhablithus bijugatus (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert, 1954) [Zygolithus]

Zygrhablithus bijugatus

Zygrhablithus bijugatus (Deflandre in Deflandre and Fert, 1954) Deflandre, 1959 [Zygolithus]

Description: Large rod-shaped holococcolith with small basal disk.

Remarks: In well-preserved material (E.g. Bown 2005) it can be seen that these are cavate holococcoliths, i.e. they have an internal cavity. Usually howevr with overgrowth this cavitiy is filled and the holococcolith develops nirregular form.

Synonyms (list from Aubry 1988):

  • Isthmolithus claviformis Bronnimann & Stradner 1960
  • Lucianorhabdus dispar Stradner 1961
  • Pseudozygrhablithus altus Haq 1971
  • Pseudozygrhablithus latus Haq 1971
  • Pseudozygrhablithus comprimus Haq 1971
  • Rhabdosphaera semiformis Bramlette & Sullivan 1961
  • Sujkowskiella enigmatica Hay Mohler & Wade 1966

Of these I. claviformis, S. enigmatica and R. semiformis were all based on isolated half or quarter specimens of Z. bijugatus.
