Synonyms

Nannoturba robusta Müller, 1979; This species is considered invalid according to ICN Art. 41, as it was published in combination with the invalid genus Nannoturba.

Diagnosis

A complex, robust geometric structure arranged in layers, with segments interlocking to form cuboid patterns in the overall structure. This cuboid nannolith displays square or petaloid structures at different focal points.

Etymology

From the Greek trachy schedio, meaning “rough design,” referring to its robust appearance
