Summary

Four species of calcareous microfossils whose systematic position is unknown occur in very small numbers in the English Gault (Middle and Upper Albian). They are associated with much more abundant coccoliths, and are believed to be the hard parts of planktonic organisms whose possible relationships are discussed, but cannot at present be determined.
