Syracosphaera tanzanensis Bown, 2005

Description: Medium sized muroliths with narrow bicyclic rim (bright inner cycle, dark outer cycle) and wide central area.

Remarks: Typical Syracosphaera structure seen in SEM, and large enough to be conspicuous in LM. May be similar to Syracosphaera lamina of de Kaenel & Villa, 1996, which is, however, a homonym of the extant Syracosphaera lamina Lecal-Schlauder, 1951.
