Saeptodinium hansonianum

hansonianum (Traverse, 1955, p.77–79, pl.13, fig.147) Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.220.  Holotype: Traverse, 1955, pl.13, fig.147; Traverse, 1994, pl.1, fig.1.  Originally Peridinium (Appendix B), subsequently Palaeoperidinium, thirdly (and now) Saeptodinium.  This combination was not validly published in Harris (1974, p.162), since that author did not fully reference the basionym.  Evitt (1974, p.4) indicated that this species has affinities with the modern species Peridinium limbatum (Stokes, 1887) Lemmermann, 1899.  Age: latest Oligocene (middle early Miocene, according to Traverse, 1994).

Parent: Saeptodinium
