E. macellus does have its first occurrence in NP4 but it tends to be very sporadic. Additionally, the specimens I see are always much smaller than the E. macellus I see in the late Paleocene and early Eocene. Otherwise, they pretty much look the same!</div>

<div>Hi again Vladimir
<div>I can't really help with that - haven't looked at enough Danian Ellipsolithus to say, and for me it looks like a fairly typical E. macellus. However, other people may be able to say something more useful</div>

<div>Hi Jeremy,</div>

<div><span lang="en">I have a question - is it always the case that the base of the NP4 zone contains uncharacteristic small Ellipsolithus macellus? My photo shows an Ellipsolithus macellus similar in appearance to the E. macellus in Plate 3 foto 36 of the
Bown et al. paper I requested. These specimens do not look like the typical large E. macellus that occur in NP9 and NP11. Can these small forms be identified as E. macellus, or is it a different species?</span></div>
