Taxonomic remark Originally described as Microproblematicum; same formal designation in Skompski, 2010, however the latter notes: "Perpendicular thin sections suggest that Tuxekanella in some respects is similar to the vegetative parts of algae belonging to primitive Charophyta or their ancestors ... Another option is to interpret Tuxekanella as a form similar to the foraminiferal(?) genus Ramovsia Kochansky-Devid (1973). However, a more certain affiliation is hampered by the fact that no characteristic sickle-like sections (Kochansky-Devidé, 1973, flg. 2a, d) are known for Tuxekanella. Amongst the Silurian calcareous algae, some similarities to Tuxekanella are demonstrated by the tubular genus Gaspesiella Mamet and Roux ... it seems that the most probable affinity of Tuxekanella is to this group of green algal Udoteaceae, which formerly was classified as Codiaceae or Siphonales (compare Riding, 1977)."
