Taxonomic remark From original description: The fan-shaped tetrad organization suggests that Sarcinophycus may have been benthic. Sarcinoid organization is found in some modern sarcinoidal green algae (e.g., Chlorosarcina and Chlorosarcinopsis), chrysophytes (e.g., Sarchinochrysis) and cyanobacteria (including Eucapsis and Myxosarcina) (Bold & Wynne 1985). Because of its complex pattern of cell growth and division, Sarcinophycus radiatus is suggested to be a green alga; however, this is by no means certain. [details]
