Emiliania is a global coccolithophorid genus.
The genus name of Emiliania is in honour of Cesare Emiliani (1922–1995), who was an Italian-American scientist, geologist, micropaleontologist, and founder of paleoceanography, developing the timescale of marine isotope stages.[1]
The genus was circumscribed by Hanspeter Mohler and William Winn Hay in Trans. Gulf Coast Ass. Geol. Soc. Vol.17 on page 447 in 1967.
It includes the species Emiliania huxleyi.[2]
