Species Subbotina angiporoides Hornibrook 1965


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION:- Type of wall: Spinose, normal perforate, moderately cancellate, often thickened by addition of gametogenetic calcite, sacculifer/ruber-type wall. Test morphology: Test small to moderate size, non-umbilicate, spherical, quadrilobate, axial periphery rounded; chambers inflated, increasing moderately in size, ll to 13 coiled chambers in 3 whorls, usually 4 chambers in the final whorl that are often elongated along the radial axis; final chamber usually strongly embracing, and extended over the umbilical sutures; sutures weakly depressed, radial to slightly curved; aperture a low, indistinct, interiomarginal slit bordered by a thick lip that extends the full width of the chamber face, opening in and sometimes beyond the umbilical area. Size: Holotype maximum diameter 0.45 mm; hypotype size range 0.45 to 0.55 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Tjalsma (1977):
The wide variation of this species in Cores 31-29 is consistent with the variation of the species at Sites 267 and 274 as figured by Kaneps 500 (1975). Forms with arched apertures were only found in Sample 29, CC. Subbotina angiporoides has also been reported from middle and high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, from northwest Europe (Berggren, 1969), and Sites 116-117A, Rockall Bank (Berggren, 1972a).
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- Distinguished by having a strongly embracing final chamber on most individuals that resembles a bulla and extends over the umbilicus, and a low slit-like aperture that is bordered by a thick lip and is centered over the antepenultimate chamber. Prepenultimate chambers tend to be more globular in S. angiporoides than in the final whorl chambers of S. linaperta. DISCUSSION.- Hornibrook (1961) used the name Globigerina angipora Stache, 1865 for a taxon resembling Stache's figures. Later, after it was confirmed that Stache's specimens were lost he declared the species a nomen dubium and erected the name angiporoides for this taxon. The species is a common element of middle Eocene-early Oligocene austral assemblages and its extinction has been used to define the top of the Globigerina angiporoides Zone of Jenkins (1965) and the Subbotina angiporoides Zone (Zone AP13) of Stott and Kennett (1 990). Jenkins (1 966) distinguished Globigerina angiporoides minima as an ancestral form that is smaller and less tightly coiled with a more open umbilicus and more inflated chambers. However, these foms are very difficult to distinguish consistelltly and, they are here considered synonymous. Morphologic overlap of these forms is revealed by similarity of the more loosely coiled paratype of G. angiporoides (Pl. 6.6, Fig. 5) with the holotype of G. angiporoides minima (Pl. 6.6, Figs. 9-11) and similarity of the more tightly coiled paratype of G. angiporoides minima (Pl. 6.6, Fig. 8) with the holotype of G. angiporoides (Pl. 6.6, Figs. 1-3). Blow (1979, p. 1253-1255) distinguished Subbotina angiporoides lindiensis from S. angboroides s.str. by its less tightly coiled, less closely appressed, and less embracing chambers. Unlike S. angiporoides s.str., the final chambers of Blow's illustrated paratypes of S. angiporoides lindiensis, though broken, are kummerform and positioned adjacent to, rather than over, the umbilicus. The holotype of S. angiporoides lindiensis, which was originally illustrated as Globigerina linaperta pseu+eocaena (Subbotina) by Blow and Banner (1 962, p1.Y l , fig. M) is very similar to Blow's paratypes, except for the absence of a kummerform chamber. The chamber arrangement and presence of a broad apertural lip on all forms of Blow's subspecies suggest that it is more closely related to Subbotina yeguaensis (Weinzierl and Applin) than to S. angiporoides. PHYLOGENETlC RELATTONSHIPS.- Evolved from S. linaperta during the middle Eocene, perhaps within Zone P10 (Blow, 1979). GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Cosmopolitan; most common at high latitudes especially in its upper range when it nearly disappears from low latitudes. STABLE ISOTOPIC PALEOBIOLOGY.- Poore and Matthews (1984) recorded lower Oligocene samples with 6180 values intermediate between other species from DSDP Site 522.
