Species Turborotalia pomeroli Toumarkine & Bolli 1970


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Smooth, normal perforate with cylindrical pustules around umbilicus, weakly cancellate on earlier chambers; tendency to defoliate. Test morphology: Large, high to moderate trochospiral, globular with 4 (rarely 5) chambers in the final whorl; chambers inflated, strongly radially compressed and appressed, increasing moderately in size, with final chamber commonly flattened in a radial direction and added high in the spiral, arching towards the umbilicus; dorsal sutures slightly curved, depressed; aperture a broad, often irregular arch in umbilical-extraumbilical position, sometimes extending almost to the periphery; occasionally an imperforate lip visible, but more commonly obscured by inward folding of the final chamber; umbilicus generally narrow; ventral sutures slightly curved, depressed; usually a weak tendency for either dextral or sinistral coiling. Size: Holotype length 0.51 mm, breadth 0.44 mm, height 0.34 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUlSHING FEATURES.- Turborotalia pomeroli is distinguished from T frontosa and T. possagnoensis by its more compressed chamber morphology, generally larger size and in having at least four chambers in the final whorl. DISCUSSION.- This species was described by Toumarkine and Bolli (1970) as an evolutionary intermediate in a lineage between T. possagnoensis and T. cerroazuelensis, but multivariate morphometric studies (P. N. Pearson, unpublished data) suggest a more complicated situation. Populations of T. pomeroli are highly variable in morphology and were apparently at the root of a substantial radiation in the middle Eocene. T. pomeroli intergrades with T. frontosa near the level of its first appearance (Zones E9-ElO), and at higher levels with T. altispiroides, T. cerroazulensis, T. increbescens and T. ampliapertura. Blow (1979) considered it as a junior synonym of Globorotalia centralis Cushman and Bermudez, and indeed the concept of centralis articulated by Blow and Banner (1962) and Blow (1969, 1979) accords closely with pomeroli. In our view, however, centralis is a synonym of cerroazulensis (see above). Globigerina subcorpulenta Khalilov, which was regarded by Blow (1979) as a junior synonym of Globorotalia centralis Cushman and Bermudez, has been viewed by W. A. Berggren (pers. comm.) as part of this study. Although poorly preserved, it is a potential senior synonym of pomeroli. Similarly, Globorotalia inflata Hussey is a poorly understood species that was dismissed by Blow (1979) as a secondary subjective homonym of Globigerina inflata (d'Orbigny) (both of which he placed in Globorotalia). This would not be the case if Hussey's taxon was found to be a Turborotalia, as seems likely from examination under light microscope (P. N. Pearson, observed 1997), in which case it might also be regarded as another senior synonym of pomeroli. Globorotalia pseudomayeri Bolli, 1957c is another species that may be a prior synonym. Blow (1979) recognized its turborotaliid affinities. A questionable further prior synonym that we have not studied is Globorotalia kiewensis Morozova. Wowever, as all four taxa have rarely been noticed, we recommend retaining pomeroli for stability of nomenclature. PHYLOGENETlC RELATIONSHIPS.- Evolved from Turborotalia frontosa in the middle Eocene and was ancestral to T cerroazulensis, T. altispiroides and T. increbescens. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Middle Eocene, upper Zone El1 to within Zone 15 (Toumarkine and Bolli, 1970). GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Cosmopolitian; probably the most abundant and widely distributed of all Turborotalia, being very well represented in both tropical and temperate regions. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOLOGY.- Recorded as having relatively negative ò18O by Boersma and others (1987) (as T. centralis). Similar data were presented by Pearson and others (2001), indicating a shallower habitat than co-occurring T. cerroazulensis.
