Rank: Species

Taxonomic discussion:

According to Pearson and Wade (2015), taci is morphologically and evolutionarily intermediate between D. galavisi and D. tapuriensis. [Wade et al. 2018]

Catalog entries: Dentoglobigerina taci

Type images:

Distinguishing features: 3½ globular chambers in final whorl.
Umbilicus open, square; with thin lip.

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

Description


Wall type: Cancellate and probably spinose in life. [Wade et al. 2018]

Morphology: “Test large, globular, approximately 12-13 chambers arranged in a moderate trochospiral, outline oval and slightly lobate, chambers globular and radially compressed; in spiral view 3½ appressed and embracing chambers in final whorl, increasing moderately to rapidly in size, sutures slightly curved, depressed; in umbilical view 3½ globular and appressed chambers, increasing moderately rapidly in size, sutures depressed, straight or slightly curved, umbilicus moderately wide, rectangular, and deep; aperture umbilical, centrally placed usually with a lip of constant thickness; in edge view chambers globular in shape, embracing, the final chamber tending to lean slightly over the umbilicus. May be dextral or sinistral, with a slight bias in favor of sinistral coiling.” (Pearson and Wade, 2015:18.) [Wade et al. 2018]

Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.39 mm. [Wade et al. 2018]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution: Low latitudes, currently confirmed only from the Indian Ocean (Tanzania), Gulf of Mexico (US Gulf Coast) and equatorial Pacific Ocean (IODP Site U1334). [Wade et al. 2018]

Isotope paleobiology: Multispecies stable isotope data indicate negative δ18O values in comparison to the rest of the assemblage, suggesting calcification in the mixed-layer (Moore and others, 2014, recorded as Dentoglobigerina sp. 1). [Wade et al. 2018]

Phylogenetic relations: Evolved from D. galavisi in the upper Eocene (Pearson and Wade, 2015) and is ancestral to D. tapuriensis. [Wade et al. 2018]

Most likely ancestor: Dentoglobigerina galavisi - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Pearson & Wade 2015, p19.
Likely descendants: Dentoglobigerina prasaepis;

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Notes: Uppermost Eocene to lower Oligocene. The highest occurrence has yet to be determined. [Wade et al. 2018]
Last occurrence (top): within O1 zone (32.10-33.90Ma, top in Rupelian stage). Data source: Wade et al. 2018 f11.1
First occurrence (base): within E16 zone (33.90-34.68Ma, base in Priabonian stage). Data source: Wade et al. 2018 f11.1
