Cleistosphaeridium multifurcatum
"?multifurcatum" (Deflandre, 1937b, p.76, pl.16 [al. pl.13], figs.1-3) Davey et al., 1969, p.16. Emendation: Masure in Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, p.270, as Exochosphaeridium multifurcatum. Holotype: Deflandre, 1937b, pl.16 (al. pl.13), figs.1-2; Fensome et al., 1991, figs.1-2 - p.691; fig.1 - p.693; Fensome et al., 1993a, fig.1 - p.1261; figs.1-2 - p.1265; Fauconnier and Masure, 2004, pl.37, figs.10-11. NOW Exochosphaeridium. Originally Hystrichosphaeridium, subsequently Baltisphaeridium (Appendix A), thirdly Cleistosphaeridium, fourthly Cleistosphaeridium?, fifthly Heterosphaeridium, sixthly (and now) Exochosphaeridium. Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.31). This combination was not validly published in Davey et al. (1966, p.170), since these authors did not fully reference the basionym. Age: Late Cretaceous.
