Species Globigerinatheka luterbacheri Bolli 1972


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Spinose, cancellate, rather thick and coarsely perforate; pore diameter > 0.05 mm. Test morphology: Test nearly globular, sometimes elongate, 2-3 whorls coiled in low trochospire, initially tight then looser, becoming streptospiral in the outer whorl; chambers inflated, increasing very slowly in the first whorl, then increasing moderately and gradually in size as added, chambers in last whorl much larger with the last two tending to hemispherical, last chamber may be smaller than penultimate one; sutures depressed, almost incised, except in the first whorl; numerous secondary apestures along the depressed sutures mainly at the intersection with the last chambers, frequently covered by more or less inflated bullae of variable size. Size: According to Toumarkine (1983), G. luterbacheri may reach a very large size, up to 0.85 mm. Maxi~llum diameter of holotype 0.55 mm; figured paratypes, 0.4 to 0.6 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- The more ovoid, somewhat more irregular test and the rather incised sutures distinguish G. luterbacheri from the other large globigerinathekids. Globigerinatheka luterbacheri differs from G. kugleri in its more robust wall and more compact test of larger size, more incised sutures and more numerous secondary apertures and from G. mexicana and G. barri in the more robust wall, the longer spire, more numerous secondary apertures, more incised sutures, and distinctly larger size. DISCUSSION.- As already noted by Bolli (1972), G. luterbacheri resembles G. euganea in general shape and maximum test size of about 0.6 mm. However, G. luterbacheri differs from G. euganea in often having more deeply incised sutures between the last chambers, overall larger and less numerous secondary apertures, and apparently a coarser surface. Bullae that may cover only part of an aperture are rare in G. euganea. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Globigerinatheka luterbacheri may have evolved from G. euganea. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- According to Toumarkine (1983), G. luterhacheri is common in mid latitudes off the South Atlantic and northern Tethys, but is very rare or absent in tropical regions. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOLOGY .- No data available.
