Lingulodinium pycnospinosum
From dinoflaj2
pycnospinosum (Benedek, 1972, p.32, pl.12, fig.14) Stover and Evitt, 1978, p.172. Emendation: Benedek and Sarjeant, 1981, p.343-344, as Lingulodinium pycnospinosum. Holotype: Benedek, 1972, pl.12, fig.14; Benedek and Sarjeant, 1981, fig.10, no.1. Originally Impletosphaeridium, subsequently Lingulodinium?, thirdly (and now) Lingulodinium. Questionable assignment: Stover and Evitt (1978, p.172) - however, Benedek and Sarjeant (1981, p.343) retained the species in Lingulodinium without question. Stover and Evitt (1978, p.172) considered Hystrichosphaeridium (as Lingulodinium) machaerophorum to be a possible taxonomic senior synonym of this species. Age: mid-late Oligocene.
Parent: Lingulodinium
