HOLOTYPE. — Sample Orbuk-32, HU.JMB.0142 ( Fig. 9P View FIG ).
TYPE LOCALITY. — Orbuklukeli section, Mersin Mélange, NW of Mersin city, southern Turkey.
ETYMOLOGY. — Named after its type locality.
OCCURRENCE. — Lower Jurassic, lower Sinemurian of the Orbuklukeli section, Mersin Mélange, NW of Mersin city, southern Turkey.
PARATYPES. — HU.JMB.0143 ( Fig. 9Q View FIG ), HU.JMB.0144 ( Fig. 9R View FIG ).
DIMENSIONS (based on three specimens, in µm). — Maximum diameter of cortical shell: 110-128 (holotype: 110, average: 116); Maximum length of spine: 85-114 (holotype: 100, average: 99.6).
DESCRIPTION
Cortical shell small to medium-sized with four strong spines. Cortical shell sphaerical to subsphaerical composed of small to medium-sized polygonal (mainly trigonal to tetragonal) pore frames and large, subcircular pores at pore frame vertices. Spines prominent, robust, needle-like, subcircular in transversal section, decreasing in width gradually to its end. Length of spines approximately equal to diameter of cortical shell.
REMARKS
This species differs from Tozerium nascens ( Carter et al. 1998: 44, pl. 1, figs 1, 7, 8, 13, 14, 18, 23, 24) by having a sphaerical, smaller cortical shell with smaller pore frames, large nodes at pore frame vertices and prominent, robust and longer primary spines.
