Taxonomy

Citation: Cassigerinellidae Bolli, Loeblich&Tappan, 1957

taxonomic rank: Family

Catalog entries: Cassigerinellidae

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Guembelitrioidea): Biserial, enrolled biserial and triserial taxa. Wall microperforate.
This taxon: Coiled biserial

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of M13 zone (100% up, 6.1Ma, in Messinian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database
First occurrence (base): within E13 zone (37.99-39.97Ma, base in Bartonian stage). Data source: Total of ranges 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. For the customisable plot option go to a genus page Parent: Guembelitrioidea
