Description

Aspiculum Won, Iams & Reed, 2005

Aspiculum Won, Iams & Reed, 2005: 441.

TYPE SPECIES. — Aspiculum eccentricum Won, Iams & Reed, 2005 (Won et al. 2005: 441, fig. 5.5-5.10a, 5.10b).

AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Lower-middle Tremadocian (Lower Ordovician), Cow Head Group, western Newfoundland, Canada.

TAXON CODE. — 284.

STATUS. — Valid.

DIAGNOSIS. — A spherical to subspherical or oval skeleton with or without pylome and no spicule system. Where the shell wall is spherical, the central (basal layer or innermost layer) part of the shell wall eccentrically developed and the thickness of the shell wall, therefore, varied within a single specimen. A basal layer developed or not, and its meshwork two- or three-dimensionally interwoven. (Won et al. 2005: 441).
