- Diagnosis
- Pollen straight-triangular in outline; semitectate to tectate pollen wall; microreticulate to perforate sculpture at distal face; 50–65 lumina per 100 µm2 at central distal face; elliptic to circular to polygonal or slit-like lumina/perforations; opercula with microreticulate supra-layer. Most other pollen features that can be observed under LM and SEM comparable to that observed in two pollen types (A and C) of the modern species: Sclerosperma profizianum.
