Taxonomy

Citation: Truncorotaloididae Loeblich&Tappan, 1961
taxonomic rank: Family
Taxonomic discussion: This family tentatively includes Acarinina, Igorina, Morozovella, and Praemurica. As discussed in "Phylogeny," there are two views among the working group members on the relationships between these genera (see Figure 5a, b). The use of this family appears appropriate, for the time being, until these differences are resolved. [Olsson et al. 1999]

Catalog entries: Truncorotaloididae

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (pf_cenozoic): This is a polyphyletic grouping including all Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera
This taxon: Muricate

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.
