Taxonomic discussion:

Berggren and others (2006) noted that this taxon is a particularly common form in mid-high latitude assemblages, but the extension of the range of Acarinina collactea into the upper Eocene was controversial. Acarinina collactea is the most common Oligocene acarininid. Here we extend the range of this taxon further to the upper Oligocene (Zone O7). Berggren and others (2006) restricted Acarinina collactea to exclusively dextrally coiled specimens (see their plate 9.8). We illustrate specimens with angular chambers and wide sutures that are consistent with Acarinina collactea although they are sinistrally coiled (Plate 13.1, Figs. 11-16). Jenkins (1965a) found 95% of specimens from the type locality to be dextrally coiled. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

This is one of the most distinct and ubiquitous components of middle Eocene planktonic foraminiferal assemblages. Distinguished by its small size and compact, densely muricate test with irregularly distributed minute “openings” on the spiral side, it is a familiar and particularly common form in mid-high latitude assemblages. [Berggren et al. 2006]

This form has been thoroughly studied and documented by Jenkins (1965a) who re-examined Finlay’s original type material. Blow (1979, p. 920) noted that the suturally-located openings on the spiral side do not appear to be functional supplementary apertures and may owe their origin to the “stand off” effect of late stage calcification preventing smooth junction of adjacent chambers owing to the development of previously calcified muricae in the intervening space(s).
The form identified by Bolli (1957a) as Globorotalia spinuloinflata (Bandy) is a subangular variant of the generally more rounded collactea and included here in the synonomy of collactea. In the former Soviet Union collactea has been identified as Acarinina rotundimarginata Subbotina from the middle Eocene of the N. Caucasus. We specifically exclude from collactea the ovate, sinistrally coiled specimens identified by Bronnimann (1952) and Postuma (1971) from the lower Eocene (Zone P6b) of Trinidad. Acarinina collactea is generally subcircular in outline, dextrally coiled and restricted to stratigraphically younger levels. The possible extension of this taxon into upper Eocene levels in high latitudes remains controversial. [Berggren et al. 2006]

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Acarinina): Moderate to low trochospire; chambers ovoid, usually 4-6 in final whorl.
Wall muricate with pustules on umbilical shoulders;
This taxon: Small (~0.25-0.30 mm), 5-chambered and compact (involute) test.

Description

Acarinina collactea is characterized by its compact test, subangular chambers that increase slowly in size, and wide, incised sutures. It differs from Acarinina medizzai and A. echinata by its lower trochospire, wedge shaped and more angular chambers. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Chambers arranged in a low to moderate trochospiral, test compact, typically 4½ -5 chambers in the final whorl, slowly increasing in size; peripheral outline weakly lobate; chambers on the umbilical side wedge-shaped or triangular with blunt and blocky muricae; sutures distinct, straight, radial and wide; umbilicus narrow, deep; umbilical-extraumbilical aperture; weakly convex to flat; on spiral side 10-12 sub-circular chambers in three whorls; sutures weakly incised, curved; rounded to subangular peripheral margin in edge view (modified after Berggren and others, 2006). [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Moderately to coarsely muricate, normal perforate, nonspinose. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Maximum diameter of holotype 0.18 mm, thickness 0.13 mm. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Cosmopolitan distribution in the Eocene. Our Oligocene records are from the Adriatic Sea and western Indian Ocean. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

No data available. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Berggren and others (2006) tentatively suggested that Acarinina collactea evolved from Acarinina pentacamerata. Acarinina collactea probably gave rise to A. medizzai. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Notes: Zone E7 (Berggren and others, 2006) to Zone O7 (this study), possibly ranges into the Miocene. [Wade & Kucenjak 2018]
Last occurrence (top): within O7 zone (22.96-25.21Ma, top in Aquitanian stage). Data source: Wade & Kucenjak 2018
First occurrence (base): within E7a subzone (48.31-50.20Ma, base in Ypresian stage). Data source: Berggren et al. 2006
