Rothpletzella
Rothpletzella is a genus of calcimicrobe known from the Silurian of Gotland, the Devonian of France, as well as the Ordovician of China.[3][4][2] It has been hypothesised to be a cyanobacterium, and shares morphological similarities with extant cyanobacteria.[5] The genus is named in honor of August Rothpletz.[6]
