Taxonomy

Citation: Globanomalina chapmani (Parr 1938)
Taxonomic rank: species
Basionym: Globorotalia chapmani
Synonyms:
Taxonomic discussion: Haig et al.'s (1993) illustrations of the holotype, paratypes, and topotypes taken by SEM has clarified the morphologic characters of this species. It is clear from these illustrations that Anomalina luxorensis Nakkady (1951), Globanomalina ovalis var. lakiensis Haque (1956), the form identified by Subbotina (1953, pl. 16: fig. 12a-c) as Globorotalia membranacea (Ehrenberg, 1854), and the form identified by Bolli (1957a, pl. 20: figs. 11-13) as Globorotalia elongata (Glaessner, 1937a) should be placed in the synonomy of G. chapmani. In addition, Globorotalia troelseni Loeblich and Tappan (1957a) and the form identified by Hillebrandt (1962, pl. 12: fig. 3a-c) as Globorotalia ehrenbergi Bolli (1957a) are 5-chambered, compressed, smooth-walled forms that can be
placed in G. chapmani. Globanomalina chapmani is a common species in upper Paleocene assemblages. [Olsson et al. 1999]

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globanomalina): Very low trochospiral; 5-6 chambers in final whorl; chamber-shape variable.
Aperture interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical, arch with narrow lip.
Wall smooth, normally perforate, pustules in some species.

This taxon: Test compressed, periphery pinched with a thickened imperforate band. 5-6 rapidly enlarging chambers in final whorl.

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.

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution

Worldwide in the middle and high latitudes. [Olsson et al. 1999]
Aze et al. 2011 summary: Cosmopolitan in middle to high latitudes; based on Olsson et al. (1999)

Isotope paleobiology
Globanomalina chapmani has δ18O and δ13C similar to Parasubbotina varianta, S. triloculinoides, and G. pseudomenardii. The species has distinctly more positive δ18O and more negative δ13C than Morozovella ,Acarinina,and Igorina. [Olsson et al. 1999]
Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 3 - Open ocean thermocline. Based on light _13C and relatively heavy _18O. Sources cited by Aze et al. 2011 (appendix S3): Olsson et al. (1999)

Phylogenetic relations
Globanomalina chapmani is a member of the smooth-walled imperforate periphery lineage and evolved from G. ehrenbergi (Bolli) in the lower part of Zone P4. [Olsson et al. 1999]

Most likely ancestor: Globanomalina ehrenbergi - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Olsson et al. 1999, fig 5a.
Likely descendants: Globanomalina planoconica; plot with descendants
