- Diagnosis
- Large species of Nivisolithus (<20 μm) with four to six rays. Each ray consists of three blades that run parallel to the length of the ray and are symmetrically disposed, with an angle of 120º between them. From the centre of the nannolith, the rays gently taper towards their ends, where all three blades of each ray terminate in a characteristic V-shaped notch. The calcite elements forming the rays lie parallel to the c-axis of each ray. The
individual rays have triangular terminations at the centre of the structure.
