Taxonomy

Citation: Kuglerina Brönnimann and Brown 1956

Rank: Genus

Basionym: Rugoglobigerina rngosa subsp. rotundata

Type species: Rugoglobigerina rngosa subsp. rotundata Brönnimann, 1952

Taxonomic discussion: Helvetiella was described as differing from Rugoglobigerina in lacking a meridional alignment of rugosities and from Archaeoglobigerina in lacking an imperforate carinal band (although none is present in the type species of either) and in the heavily ornamented surface. However, it appears very similar to Kuglerina and is here regarded as synonymous.

Original description: Kuglerina:

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Kuglerina;

Short diagnosis: Test relatively large, up to 0.5 mm in diameter, with moderately high trochospiral coil, chambers globular to somewhat elongate as seen in edge view, enlarging gradually, four to six in the final whorl, sutures radial, depressed, umbilicus about one-fourth the test diameter, periphery rounded, noncarinate, peripheral outline lobulate; wall calcareous, perforate, surface with prominent pustules and rugosities but without regularly aligned costellae; primary aperture umbilical, provided with tegilla and with both proximal and distal accessory apertures.

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within Maastrichtian Stage (66.04-72.05Ma, top in Maastrichtian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Campanian Stage (72.05-83.64Ma, base in Campanian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

NB Plotting of Neptune data has been disabled on the Mesozoic pages because the dataset is both small and badly affected by a few sites with erroneous age models (our obs Huber, Petrizzo, Young, Nov 2016). The data can still be viewed via the range plottertool - tools menu.

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: This is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. See also: customisable plot Parent: Rugoglobigerinidae
