Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Neogloboquadrina): Cancellate wall; umbilical-extraumbilical aperture:
This taxon: Like N. continuosa but 5-5½ chambers in final whorl, chambers more inflated, and a wide apertural rim or plate

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


Morphology:
Test low trochospiral, equatorial periphery strongly lobulate , axial periphery rounded; chambers inflated, subspherical to ovate, 5 to 5½ in the final whorl; sutures on spiral and umbilical sides radial, depressed; surface distinctly reticulate with large circular pores and pore pits (Pl. 47, Fig. 1); umbilicus narrow , deep; aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical, a rather low arch with distinct rim or in the form of apertural plate covering much of the umbilicus. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Wall type:
Non-spinose; Cancellate [Aze 2011]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution

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

Isotope paleobiology

Phylogenetic relations
N. acostaensis is distinguished from the phylogenetically unrelated form Gr. (I.) siakensis by its more inflated chambers, low aperture, and distinct apertural plate. N. acostaensis developed from N. continuosa in the earliest Late Miocene by developing more numerous and more inflated chambers in the final whorl and a wide apertural rim or plate. This species is ancestral to N. humerosa. The initial evolutionary appearance of N. acostaensis defines the base of Late Miocene Zone N16. N. acostaensis is restricted to tropical to warm subtropical areas. It seems that this form intergrades with N pachyderma in Late Miocene to early Pliocene sediments in temperate to polar areas (Srinivasan and Kennett, 1976; Kennett and Srinivasan, 1980). [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Most likely ancestor: Paragloborotalia continuosa - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig 21; Aze et al. 2011.
