Taxonomy

Citation: Pulleniatina primalis Banner & Blow, 1967

Rank: species

Basionym: Pulleniatina primalis

Variants:

Pu. praepulleniatina Bronniman and Resig (1971) - an intermediate form which links N. acostaensis with Pu. primalis [according to Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Taxonomic discussion: Brummer & Kucera 2022 suggests that records of this species in the plankton probably refer to P. obliquiloculata

Catalog entries: Pulleniatina primalis, Pulleniatina praepulleniatina

Type images:

holotype: P. primalis

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Pulleniatina): Compact streptospiral test with smooth cortical coating and large slit-like aperture
This taxon: Aperture restricted to the umbilical side

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: Tropical to warm subtropical. Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]

[SCOR WG138]

Isotope paleobiology: 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): this study

Phylogenetic relations: Pu. primalis is distinguished from Pu. praecursor by its aperture, which is restricted to the umbilical side and does not reach the periphery of the previous whorl. This species differs from Pu. spectabilis in lacking the acutely angled periphery characteristic of that species. Pu. primalis evolved from Neogloboquadrina acostaensis. Pu. praepulleniatina, described by Brönniman and Resig (1971), represents an intermediate form, which links N. acostaensis with Pu. primalis.

Most likely ancestor: Neogloboquadrina acostaensis - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig 22; Aze et al. 2011.
Likely descendants: Pulleniatina praecursor; Pulleniatina praespectabilis; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): in lower part of PL3 [Atl.] zone (28% up, 3.7Ma, in Zanclean stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).
First occurrence (base): in upper part of M13b subzone (73% up, 6.8Ma, in Messinian stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).

Plot of occurrence data:
