From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onychomicrodictyon is a genus of Toyonian net-like small shelly fossil that probably belonged to a lobopodian resembling Onychodictyon or Microdictyon; the plates have a honeycomb structure with nodal flanges and an apical spinose extension.[1] It is considered a junior synonym of Onychodictyon by some authors.[2]
