New genera of Paleogene fungal spores

Ctenosporites, Granatisporites, and Pesavis are described as new form genera of fossil fungal spores and spore-like fossils; Striadiporites and Pluricellaesporites are emended. Pesavis and Ctenosporites are geographically restricted to the northwest Pacific and Arctic region. Granatisporites is desc...

Description
Summary:Ctenosporites, Granatisporites, and Pesavis are described as new form genera of fossil fungal spores and spore-like fossils; Striadiporites and Pluricellaesporites are emended. Pesavis and Ctenosporites are geographically restricted to the northwest Pacific and Arctic region. Granatisporites is described to facilitate the classification of fungal spore types ubiquitous over at least the Western Hemisphere.
