Protozoa - Nassellaria - Hsuidae

Discussion

Original description: Test small, conical, usually with seven to nine post-abdominal chambers. Cephalis dome-shaped without horn. Thorax and subsequent chambers trapezoidal in outline. Cephalis and thorax sparsely perforate, covered with layer of microgranular silica. Abdomen and all post-abdominal chambers comprised of then, longitudinal costae superimposed on each row of pore frames. About nine to ten costae visible laterally. Pore frames medium in size. Chambers increasing gradually in width as added with final post-abdominal chamber remain ing in the same width or decreasing slightly in width.

Original remarks: Drulanta mostleri, n. sp., differs from D. mirifica, n. sp., by having a shorter with smaller cephalis.

Etymology: This species is named after Dr. H. Mostler in honor of his studies on the Mesozoic Radiolaria.

Taxonomy
Drulanta mostleri was named by Yeh (1987). Its type specimen is NMNS (000107) and is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Suplee-Izee area, OR-600A, which is in a Toarcian marine tuff/limestone in the Hyde Formation of Oregon.

It was recombined as Parahsuum mostleri by Whalen and Carter (2002) and Gorican et al. (2006).
