Eimeria lobatoi Ferreira, Araujo, Confalonieri, Chame, & Ribeiro, 1992, nomen
nudum
Age: ca 9,000 years bp
Host: Mazama sp. (a deer)
Reference: Ferreira et al. 1992
No measurements are provided.
Eimeria "mira" sp. of Hill, 1990
Age: ca 2,000 years bp
Host: Homo sapiens (Grauballe man)
Reference: Hill 1990
This is either a trematode egg or a rodent pseudoparasite.
Eimeria (?) (Schmidt, Duszynski, and Martin, 1992)
Synonym: Archeococcidia antiquus Schmidt,
Duszynski, and Martin, 1992
Age: ca 10,500 years bp
Host: Nothrotheriops shastensis (Shasta
ground
sloth)
Reference: Schmidt et al. 1992
These are likely unsporulated eimerian oocysts.
