Treatment

Plicatella sp. ( Fig. 9N, Q View FIG )

OCCURRENCE. — Ashikajima Fm.

DESCRIPTION

Trilete microspore. Amb triangular with straight to slightly convex sides and raised tops. The laesurae are thin, straight, raised, and extend to the 3/4 of the spore radius. Exine canaliculate. The proximal face shows a small psilate contact area, followed by 3 sets of 3-4 muri (1.5 to 4 µm wide) parallel to the equator; the muri join at the tops. The distal face is ornamented by 3 sets of 4 wavy muri parallel to the equator, distributed in a slight interval to form concentric triangles centered on the distal pole ( Fig. 11 View FIG ). The ornamentation of this form corresponds to the type I-B defined by Krutzsch (1963). Equatorial diameter = 40-50 µm.
