![]() | ![]() | Candeina Sutural apertures: |
Catalog entries: Candeininae
Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (pf_cenozoic): This is a polyphyletic grouping including all Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera
This taxon: Microperforate with sutural apertures (and possibly a separate evolutionary origin)
Most likely ancestor: Globigerinitidae - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Candeina is thought to have evolved from Globigerinita (Hofker 1954, Parker 1962), although this was questioned by Pearson et al. (2018).
Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database
First occurrence (base): within N17b zone (5.72-6.60Ma, base in Messinian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of species in this database
