Type description
van Geel 1978: Fruit-bodies (82.f and 82.g) spherical, 120-420 μm in diameter, with one, rarely two, short beaks, 30-40 μm high, 40-50 μm in diameter, widening to 50-75 μm at the distal end. In several macrofossil samples clusters of Type 82 fruit-bodies of different size were observed with their ostioles pointing in different directions. Spores (82.a-e) ellipsoidal, brown, smoothwalled, (17-)21-28(-31) X (9-)10-13(-15) μm, with a very small (about 0.5 μm wide) germ pore at one end, sometimes with several, scattered pores. Some spores with a hyaline cellular appendage at one end, possibly the remnant of an appendage, but more likely a germtube. Some specimens showing an indistinct septum (82.c).
