Classification:
Kingdom: Chromista
Phylum: Myzozoa
Class: Dinophyceae
Order: Gonyaulacales
Family: Ceratiaceae
Description:
The organism has a box-like angular body with a unique feature: an apical horn that is offset and points towards the right side. Additionally, it possesses hypothecal horns with open ends. This distinct structure sets it apart from other organisms and plays a crucial role in its ecological niche and survival. The offset apical horn and open-ended hypothecal horns likely serve specific functions, such as mobility, defense, or nutrient acquisition. This species showcases remarkable adaptations and features that make it an intriguing subject of study in the field of marine biology.
