  • Cytherella sp. 1 Fig. 5K Material examined BRAZIL: Estre outcrop, Rosário do Catete Municipality, Sergipe State (samples MP-1427 and MP- 1429), approximate coordinates 10°41' S, 37°02' W. Measurements Hypotype (CP-670): valve: height = 0.51 mm. Remarks Despite its unusual fine, nodose ornamentation, Cytherella sp. 1 is comparable in overall shape to several Cytherella species with Albian (partly or not) distribution, which justifies its generic attribution. These include Cytherella ovata (Roemer, 1841) (several sedimentary units, ages and locations in Europe, and possibly nearby regions in America, Africa and Asia) (Brown 1957; Herrig 1966; Bassoulet & Damotte 1969; Swain & Brown 1972; Majoran 1989; Witte et al. 1992; El-Nady et al. 2008); Cytherella comanchensis Alexander, 1929 (Fort Worth Formation, United States, upper Albian) (Alexander 1929); and Cytherella fredericksburgensis Alexander, 1932 (Goodland Formation, United States, Albian) (Alexander 1932). However, because of the lack of well-preserved specimens in the current samples, it was not possible to provide a more specific identification of them. Paleoecology and distribution Cytherella sp. 1 is a marine, outer shelf species occurring in the Taquari Member, Riachuelo Formation, Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, Brazil, upper Albian (earlier than the Reticulocosta edrianae subzone (MSA- 0.4)), Aracajuia benderi zone (MSA-0).
