Taxonomic remark Initially assigned to Chlorophyta, although Taylor et al., 2009 indicate that a prokaryote affinity is also possible. Sergeev et al., 2012 list under incertae sedis and state: Glenobotrydion was described by Schopf (1968) as possible green algae with nuclei or pyrenoides inside. Later, it turned out that such microfossils with inclusions are degraded stages of various coccoidal both pro-and eukaryotic microorganisms (Golubic & Hofmann, 1976; Hofmann, 1976; Knoll & Golubic, 1979; Nyberg & Schopf, 1984; Sergeev, 1992a). ... Currently, genus Glenobotrydion is considered as a form taxon incorporating remains of eukaryotic algae and chroococcaceans as well as probably cells from disintegrated trichomes of nostocalean or stigonematalean cyanobacteria (Sergeev, 2006). Sergeev, & Schopf, 2010 place Glenobotrydion under Incertae sedis (?Chroococcales or Clorococcales) with the statement: "At present, the biological affinity of Glenobotrydion—whether to chroococcacean cyanobacteria or eukaryotic chlorococcaleans—remains to be established".
