Species Subbotina gortanii Borsetti 1959


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Cancellate, normal perforate, spinose, ruber/sacculifer-type wall texture. Test morphology: High trochospiral, globular in outline, chambers globular; in spiral view 4 globular, loosely embracing chambers in ultimate whorl, increasing moderately in size, sutures deeply depressed, straight; in umbilical view 4 globular, loosely embracing chambers, increasing moderately in size, sutures deeply depressed, straight, umbilicus large, enclosed by surrounding chambers, aperture umbilical, bordered by a thickened, narrow rim; in edge view chambers arranged in a high, loosely coiled spire. Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.60 mm, thickness 0.63 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Spezzaferri & Silva (1990):
Very rare.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- The species is characterized by its trochospiral loosely coiled test, globular chambers, and umbilical aperture. DISCUSSION.- Blow (1979) regarded Globigerina gortanii gortanii as the senior synonym of Globigerina turritilina turritilina Blow and Banner, but retained the separation of this form from Globigerina turritilina praeturritilina Blow and Banner. Blow and Banner (1 962) separated Globigerina turritilina turritilina from Globigerina turritilina praeturritilina on the basis of slightly less inflated chambers, a broader umbilicus, and a higher aperture in G. turritilina praeturritilina. The holotypes of Blow and Banner's subspecies are illustrated for the first time in SEM on Plate 6.10, Figs. 9-12 and show little difference between the two morphotypes in these characters. Khalilov's Globigerina pseudocorpulenta is a high-spired form that Blow (1979) considered a possible senior synonym of praeturritilina. The holotype was viewed by WAB who was unable to place the specimen unequivocally, hence we hold it in questionable synonymy with gortanii but recommend suppression of the name. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Subbotina gortanii appears related to Subbotina yeguaensis, which has a moderately elevated spire of loosely embracing, globular chambers and a ruber/sacculifer-type wall texture. An increase in the height of the coil would lead to the development of the gortanii morphology. GEOGRAPHIC D1STNBUTION.- Apparently global in low to mid latitudes. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOLOGY.- Pearson and others (2001) recorded this species (as S. cf. S. praeturritilina) as a deep dwelling form in the upper Eocene. However Douglas and Savin (1978) and Boersma and others (1987) recorded relatively negative ň18O for this species from the Oligocene, suggesting that it might have migrated into shallower water habitats.
