Taxonomy:

Citation: Reticulofenestra hillae Bukry & Percival, 1971

Rank: Species

Taxonomic discussion: Considered a junior synonym of R. umbilicus by some (e.g., Backman and Hermelin, 1986).

Distinguishing features: Large to very large (~>9µm), broadly elliptical reticulofenestrids with broad tube and narrow central area that can be distinctly quadrate or lens-shaped.

Geological Range:
Notes: Particularly conspicuous in the Eocene/Oligocene boundary interval and lower Oligocene (Zones NP19/20-NP22) but also present in the Eocene (Zones NP17-NP19/20) (Bown & Dunkley Jones, 2012)
Last occurrence (top): within NP22 zone (32.02-32.92Ma, top in Rupelian stage). Data source: Bown & Dunkley Jones, 2012
First occurrence (base): within NP17 zone (37.32-40.40Ma, base in Bartonian stage). Data source: Bown & Dunkley Jones, 2012
