Species Dentoglobigerina galavisi Bermudez 1961


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: cancellate, honeycomb, normal perforate, nonspinose, Globoquadrina-type wall. Test morphology: Test trochospiral, globular, oval in outline, chambers globular; in spiral view 3 1/2 ovoid chambers in ultimate whorl, increasing rapidly in size, sutures moderately depressed, straight to slightly curved; in umbilical view 3 1/2 ovoid chambers increasing rapidly in size, sutures deeply depressed, straight; umbilicus small, enclosed by surrounding chambers, aperture centered over the umbilicus, bordered by a thin irregular, triangular-shaped lip that is centered below an ill-defined apertural face; in edge view chambers ovoid in shape, projecting over the umbilicus, ultimate chamber shows a distinct bending and flattening into the umbilicus forming an indistinct umbilical face. Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.46 mm. thickness0s. 40 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Spezzaferri & Silva (1990):
Transitional forms to D. haroernoenensis occur in Zone P19 (Plate II, 2a c, 3a d).
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- The species is characterized by its oval-shaped chambers that sin-round the umbilicus, the bending and flattening of the ultimate chamber into the umbilicus, and the umbilically confined aperture with an irregular, triangular-shaped lip that projects over the umbilical opening. DISCUSSION. - Blow ( 1970) theated the holotype of Dentoglobigerina galavisi as separate from the "central type" of a plexus of middle and late Eocene morphotypes. The specimens he illustrated(his pl. 177, figs. 8, 9; pl. 244, fig. 1) as representing his concept of the "central type" of the species differ from the holotype (Pl. 61, Figs. 1-3, this volume) in having 4 chambers in the ultimate whorl (as seen on the umbilical side) in contrast to 3 1/2 in D. galavisi and in lacking a distinct symmetrically triangular lip (the lip in this pl. 244, fig 1 looks triangular but appears to be broken) Specimens illustrated in this volume from the upper Eocene of Mississippi, the level from which the species is described, show that the holotype is a typical morphology for the species Dentoglobigerina galavisi is a common component in upper Eocene and lower Oligocene sediments. The triangular lip or umbilical tooth appears to vary in the degree of its development but in typical specimens it occurs as a thin lip that tapers to a low triangular midpoint. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Possibly evolved from an acarininid ancestor in Zone E13 and gave rise to Dentoglobigerina tripartita (Koch) and probably to Dentoglobigerina pseudovenezuelana (Blow and Banner). STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Zone E13 to upper Oligocene Zone O6. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Widespread in low to mid latitudes. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOLGY.- Recorded (on the base of oxygen and carbon isotopic data) as a relatively deep dwelling form by Pearson and others (2001) from middle and upper Eocene samples, a habitat corroborated by the boron Isotope data of Pearson and Palmer ( 1990). However Oligocene Samples studied by Van Eijden and Ganssen (1995) registered the most negative ň18O of planktonic assemblages from ODP Site 758A, indicating a shallow habitat. Douglas and Savin (1978) also recorded relatively negative ň18O in upper Oligocene Samples.
