Neogloboquadrina atlantica


Classification: pf_cenozoic -> Globorotaliidae -> Neogloboquadrina -> Neogloboquadrina atlantica
Sister taxa: N. pachyderma, N. incompta, N. inglei ⟩⟨ N. dutertrei, N. humerosa, N. acostaensis, N. atlantica, N. sp.

Taxonomy

Citation: Neogloboquadrina atlantica (Berggren 1972)
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Globigerina atlantica Berggren 1972
Synonyms:
Taxonomic discussion: Not recognised by Aze et al. (2011) but included here since it is a widely reported taxon and since it is used as a marker by Wade et al. (2011).
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983) do not document the species in detail but note that Neogloboquadrina "also includes N. atlantica (Berggren), a form which seems to be restricted to the North Atlantic in the Late Neogene but for which phylogentic relationships are still unclear."

Catalog entries: Globigerina atlantica, Globoquadrina asanoi

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Neogloboquadrina): Cancellate wall; umbilical-extraumbilical aperture:
This taxon: Like N. dutertrei but tighter coiling (& so narrower umbilicus) and granular wall.

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

Most likely ancestor: Neogloboquadrina acostaensis - at confidence level 1 (out of 5). Data source: Berggren 1972 records the species as being part of the numerosa-dutetrei group so if its FAD is in N16 the ancestor is perhaps most likely to be N. acostaensis [editors comment - JRY 2018].

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Notes: Biostratigraphic use of the taxon is discussed in Berggren 1972 and Weaver 1987. Coiling reversal from dextral to sinistral was listed by Wade et al. (2011) as a subsidiary event within M14
Last occurrence (top): within N21 zone (1.93-3.10Ma, top in Gelasian stage). Data source: Berggren 1972
First occurrence (base): within N16 zone (8.58-9.83Ma, base in Tortonian stage). Data source: Berggren 1972
