Species Gubkinella graysonensis Tappan 1940


Discussion / Comments:
Leckie (1990):
Distinctive compact, quadrilobate test. In adults, the aperture is a low arch with a thin lip and is umbilical in position. In juveniles,the aperture can be more umbilical-extraumbilical in position(Pl. 1, Fig. 2). Both moderate spired (Pl. 1, Fig. 6) and high spired (Pl.1, Fig. 7) forms are observed in the material from ODP Site 693. This long-ranging taxon is especially characteristic of neritic environments (continental margins, epicontinental seas; e.g., Tappan, 1940;Longoria, 1974) as well as areas of upwelling (e.g., Leckie, 1987). Longoria(1974) reports a lower Aptian (Leupoldina cabri Zone) first occurrence for G. graysonensis.
Pflaumann & Krasheninnikov (1977):
Four globular chambers forming the last whorl, main aperture low, interiomarginal, in the middle part of the last chamber. Initial part of the spira small, acute. The species has been recorded from upper Grayson formation, Texas, from the Lenticulina ouachensis ouachensis Zone of Trinidad. Longoria (1974) gave a range from late Aptian to Cenomanian.
