Igorina Test small, biconvex, evolute, margin narrowly rounded or angular, sometimes with a keel; 5-6 chambers in final whorl Wall, coarsely cancellate, praemuricate, often pustulose.
Morozovella Test typically plano-convex, chambers strongly anguloconical. Wall strongly pustulose (muricate) on parts of spire and umbilicus. Most species with muricocarina.
Citation: Truncorotaloididae Loeblich&Tappan, 1961taxonomic rank: FamilyTaxonomic 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]
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.
Description
Biogeography and Palaeobiology
Biostratigraphic distribution
Geological Range: Last occurrence (top): at top of O7 zone (100% up, 23Ma, in Aquitanian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database First occurrence (base): within P0 zone (66.00-66.04Ma, base in Danian 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: pf_cenozoic
