Abstract
Five Lower Albian (Lower Cretaceous) areoligeracean dinoflagellate cyst species are present in the Carstone Formation at Middlegate Quarry, North Lincolnshire, UK;
Canninginopsis monile
,
Circulodinium deflandrei, Cyclonephelium compactum, Cyclonephelium intonsum
and
Cyclonephelium longispinatum
. The taxonomy of
Circulodinium deflandrei
is reviewed with respect to 20 measured Carstone specimens. The taxonomy of
Cyclonephelium longispinatum
is reviewed with respect to 70 measured Carstone specimens, and a study of 40 measured specimens from its type material in Site 361, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 40, offshore south-western Africa.
Circulodinium deflandrei
and
Cyclonephelium longispinatum
have recently been considered by other workers to be junior synonyms, respectively of
Circulodinium hirtellum
and
Tenua anaphrissa
. However, following detailed study of their morphologies, the synonymies are formally rejected here. An emended diagnosis is given for
C. longispinatum
. A re-assessment of stratigraphical ranges of taxa co-occurring with the type material of
C. longispinatum
is consistent with a Late Albian to Early Turonian age range in Site 361.
期刊介绍:
The Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society (PYGS) has been published without a break since 1839. It is one of the leading journals of British geology. Each year two parts are issued containing original research papers on all aspects of geology. Traditionally the Proceedings has given particular attention to the geology of northern England and its neighbouring areas. The submission of papers on related topics but of a more general interest is encouraged. All papers are subjected to the full scrutiny of two independent referees.
