Figs 100-103 £/ea whiteleyi sp. nov., top Lower Cenomanian (orbignyi Zone) - basal Middle Cenomanian (costatus Zone), Saint-Germain-la-Campagne, descente sur Orbiquet, Eure, France. 100-101, VH 10539; 100. branch surface, x 53; 101, autozooidal operculum, x 330. 102, 103, VH 10538, holotype; 102, autozooids, kenozooids, and demizooids with obliquely-directed, inclined apertures, x 95; 103, operculate autozooid and two demizooids, x 220. Kenozooids (Figs 102, 105) observed commonly in colony base, overgrowths, and at the margins of erect branches. Gonozooids (Fig. 109) fairly common. Distal frontal wall emerging from maternal aperture initially parallel-sided before becoming bulbous and longitudinally ovoidal in shape. Ooeciopore located beyond inflated part of frontal wall, transversely elliptical, about 1-5 x wider than long. Atrial ring not observed. Measurements. autozooids (10 zooids with in-situ opercula from holotype VH 10538) frontal length: mean = 0-33 mm; SD = 0-015 mm; CV = 4-5; range = 0-30-0-35 mm frontal width: mean = 0-17 mm; SD = 0-008 mm; CV = 4-5; range = 0-17-0-18 mm apertural length: mean = 0-15 mm; SD = 0-005 mm; CV = 3-1; range = 0-15-0-17 mm apertural width: mean = 0-13 mm; SD = 0-006 mm; CV = 4-8; range = 0-12-0-14 mm rostrozooids (5 zooids from 5 colonies) frontal wall length: range = 0-63-0-92 mm frontal wall width: range = 0-20-0-21 mm apertural length: range = 0-33-0-57 mm apertural width: range = 0-11-0-15 mm demizooids apertural width: ca 0-06-0-09 mm gonozooids (one zooid from holotype VH 10538) total frontal wall length: 2-36 mm dilated frontal wall length*: 1-13 mm ooeciopore length: 0-08 mm ooeciopore width: 0-12 mm (* that part of the frontal wall distal to the narrow origin) Remarks.
