Saccammina complanata

NB This site is under active development, current content in the main database is primarily from Bolli et al 1994, Hayward et al. 2012, Holbourn et al. 2013, Holbourn and Kaminski 1997, Alegret & Thomas 2001, and Katz et al. 2003. It is intended to expand and develop this to provide rather comprehensive coverage of Mesozoic and Cenozoic deep-sea benthic foraminifera.


Classification: bf_main -> Astrorhizida -> Saccammina -> Saccammina complanata
Sister taxa: S. complanata, S. placenta, S. sp.

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within Paleogene Period (23.03-66.04Ma, top in Chattian stage). Data source: Tjalsma & Lohmann 1983
First occurrence (base): within Paleogene Period (23.03-66.04Ma, base in Danian stage). Data source: Tjalsma & Lohmann 1983

Plot of occurrence data:
NB The ranges given for genera and higher taxa are the total ranges of species included in that taxon in this database - so the true total range of the taxon will usually be longer
