Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. E. González-Guzmán 1967Equatorial limb approximately circular; sculpture type psilate; probably tektite. Thickness of exine about 1 μ. Grain with a thickening that forms a ring parallel to the equator (possibly at the distal side). On either side of that ring there is something like a circular 'aperture', but they are too indistinct to be clearly visible. At one of the poles there is a scar that we consider to be possibly a reduced tetrad-scar.
