Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Most likely ancestor: Hastigerina - at confidence level 1 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983 - based on tentative suggestion that O. riedeli evolved from H. pelagica .

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): near top of Gelasian Stage (85% up, 1.9Ma, in Gelasian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

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: Hastigerinidae
