Taxonomic remark From Golubic & Seong-Joo, 1999: tetrahedrally compacted coccoidal cells within tight envelopes were originally named Eotetrahedrion and interpreted as a result of eukaryotic meiotic division (Schopf & Blacic, 1971). These tetrads were later shown to be a part of a larger population of Gloeodiniopsis, initially also classified as a eukaryote related to the dinoflagellates. However, cell division patterns and dynamics of post mortem decay reconstructed from large microfossil populations of this kind were found to be consistent with reproduction of cyanobacteria close to the modern genus Chroococcus (Knoll & Golubic, 1979).
