Sanshuia ovata

ovata (Jiabo, 1978, p.84, pl.4, figs.1–3) Lentin and Williams, 1985, p.313.  Emendation: Mao Shaozhi et al., 1995, p.51, as Sanshuia ovata.  Holotype: Jiabo, 1978, pl.4, fig.2.  Originally Deflandrea, subsequently Subtilisphaera, thirdly (and now) Sanshuia, fourthly Geiselodinium, fifthly Saeptodinium.  Mao Shaozhi et al. (1995, p.51) retained this species in Sanshuia.  This combination was not validly published in Yu Jingxian et al. (1981, p.260), since these authors did not fully reference the basionym.  Age: Early Tertiary.

Parent: Sanshuia
