Descriptive info Type is from Lower Cretaceous; England (Ecclesbourne, East Sussex). (Index Nominum Genericorum). According to Taylor et al., 2009, the genus is something of a "wastebasket" taxon for a range of fossils that resemble algae in basic organization and cannot be assigned with confidence to any modern group.
