Biology:Leiosphaerid
From HandWiki
Leiosphaeridia is a form-genus of acritarchs proposed by Eisenack in 1958. The grouping was refined to represent a more natural group by Jankauskas.[1]
Some leiosphaerid acritarchs have been recognised as vaucheriacean algæ.[2]
The class represents shallow-water environments.[3]
