Classification: pf_mesozoic
Sister taxa:

Daughter taxa (time control age-window is: 0-800Ma)		Granddaughter taxa
	triserial
	Guembelitriidae Early stage trochospiral, triserial, or biserial, later may show serial reduction or proliferation.	Guembelitria
	biserial-multiserial
	Heterohelicidae Aperture symmetrical, ranging from a low slit to a high arch at the base of the final chamber, becoming terminal in uniserial taxa.	Heterohelix Spiroplecta Braunella Hendersonites Huberella Laeviheterohelix Planoheterohelix Protoheterohelix Pseudoguembelina Pseudotextularia Planoglobulina Ventilabrella Gublerina Praegublerina Sigalia Racemiguembelina Lunatriella Rectoguembelina Zeauvigerina
	planispiral
	Planomalinidae Test planispiral, biumbilicate, periphery carinate, sutures strongly arched; aperture a low equatorial opening.	Planomalina Pseudoplanomalina
	Globigerinelloididae Test planispiral, chambers globular to radially elongate; aperture at the base of the chamber face and equatorial in position, lateral portions of primary aperture may remain open as new chambers are added, forming relict openings around the umbilical region.	Eohastigerinella Globigerinelloides Hastigerinoides Laeviella Planohedbergella Polycamerella Pseudoschackoina
	Schackoinidae Test trochospiral to nearly planispiral, chambers with one or more hollow tubulospines; aperture equatorial and may have broad lip.	Leupoldina Schackoina
	trochospiral (in sequence of increasing complexity)
	Conoglobigerinidae Small (<200µm), microperforate wall, 3-4 globose chambers in final wall, aperture umbilical	Conoglobigerina Globuligerina Petaloglobigerina
	Chilostomellidae	Gubkinella
	Favusellidae Test trochospirally coiled, chambers inflated, rounded to ovate; wall cancellate, with abundantly perforated fields bordered by imperforate ridges; primary aperture umbilical to slightly extraumbilical, with an imperforate lip; umbilicus narrow to wide and deep, margin noncarinate.	Favusella
	Praehedbergellidae Globigerinacea with trochspiral tests, in which the primary aperture is intraumblical or intraumbilical-extraumbilical and which possess a microperforate wall lacking muricae, crystallite pustules, or spine bases; differs from the Favusellacea in its lack of muricae (and in possessing a calcitic test) and from the Schackoinidae in not becoming planispiral.	Blefuscuiana Gorbachikella
	Hedbergellidae Test trochospirally coiled, primary aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical, with prominent apertural lip, apertures of earlier chambers remain visible around the umbilical region; no sutural secondary apertures.	Asterohedbergella Clavihedbergella Costellagerina Falsotruncana Hedbergella Helvetoglobotruncana Liuenella Microhedbergella Muricohedbergella Paracostellagerina Paraticinella Praeglobotruncana Pseudoguembelitria Whiteinella
	Rugoglobigerinidae Test trochospiral, chambers inflated, periphery rounded, not carinate; wall with pustules, costellae, or other rugosities; aperture umbilical, with portici or tegilla.	Archaeoglobigerina Bucherina Kuglerina Plummerita Rugoglobigerina Rugotruncana Trinitella
	Rotaliporidae Test trochospirally enrolled, primary aperture umbilical-extraumbilical in position and with bordering lip, secondary sutural apertures on umbilical side open into posterior edge of chambers.	Anaticinella Biticinella Pseudothalmanninella Rotalipora Thalmanninella Ticinella
	Globotruncanidae Test trochospiral, chambers angular, periphery truncate or carinate; primary aperture umbilical, covered by a spiral system of tegilla that is provided with accessory intralaminal and infralaminal apertures.	Abathomphalus Contusotruncana Dicarinella Gansserina Globotruncana Globotruncanella Globotruncanita Loeblichella Marginotruncana Radotruncana

Taxonomy

Citation: Mesozoic Planktonic Foraminifera

Taxonomic discussion: The Mesozoic planktonic foraminifera are conventionally included in the Order Globigerinida. However, it is possible that the K/Pg extinction eliminated all planktonic foramnifera which then re-evolved from benthic ancestors. In this case the Cretaceous forms should be placed in a separate order as argued by Arenillas et al. 2022, who proposed the order Globotruncanida.

Original description: Diagnosis. Test trochospiral or planispiral. Peripheral margin without keel, or with one or two keel. Aperture bordered by a lip or protected by a porticus or a tegillum, rarely by a bulla. Finely perforate to macroperforate. Wall surface smooth, pore-mounded, pitted, reticulate, hispid, pustulate, muricate, rugose, or costate. Wall hyaline calcitic, but early forms may be aragonitic.

It seems something is wrong with the Mesozoic part of the planktonic foram data, when I click a link to a Mesozoic taxon, the following message will occur. Any additional click will repeat the same message once more. Thanks for checking on this.

SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE DATABASE ENTRY, (IS TAXON PATH SET?):

Thank you for pointing that out - yes there was a database glitch here, it has been fixed now.
