Taxonomy

Citation: Truncorotaloididae Loeblich and Tappan, 1961

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 gruoping 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 base of Aquitanian Stage (3% up, 23Ma, in Aquitanian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Danian Stage (61.61-66.04Ma, base in Danian stage). Data source: Total of range 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
