Baltisphaeridium polytrichum Appendix A
From dinoflaj2
"polytrichum" (Valensi, 1947, p.818; text-fig.4) Downie and Sarjeant, 1965, p.95. Holotype: Valensi, 1947, text-fig.4; Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, pl.24, figs.1-6. NOW Downiesphaeridium. Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), thirdly Cleistosphaeridium, fourthly Impletosphaeridium, fifthly (and now) Downiesphaeridium. Taxonomic junior synonym: Cleistosphaeridium (as Downiesphaeridium) polyacanthum, according to Masure in Fauconnier and Masure (2004, p.196). This combination was not validly published in Sarjeant (1959, p.339 and 1962, p.487), since that author did not fully reference the basionym. Age: Late Bajocian.
Parent: Baltisphaeridium
