Species Acarinina angulosa Bolli 1957


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Muricate, normal perforate, nonspinose. Test morphology: Low trochospiral test with lobulate peripheral outline; about 10- 1 2 chambers in 2 1/2 whorls; 4 1/2-5 subangular chambers in last whorl gradually increasing in size, separated by straight, radial and depressed sutures; spiral side flat to slightly convex, sutures curved/oblique; umbilicus moderately wide, open, deep; aperture a low interiomarginal-umbilical arch extending nearly to the periphery; axial / edge view subangular. Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.40 mm, thickness 0.28 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. See A. coalingensis (Cushman and Hanna, 1927).

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- The diagnostic features of Acarinina angulosa are the strongly angular disposition of the chambers of the last whorl and the strongly lobulate peripheral outline. DISCUSSION.- This distinctive taxon is a common component of lower Eocene (sub)tropical assemblages where it is associated with other acarininids (soldadoensis, interposita, pentacamerata, pseudotopilensis) and morozovellids (suhbotinae, formosa, gracilis, aragonensis). In the course of our studies in Egypt we have found that this taxon has its FAD just below the base of the CIE / PETM interval, i.e., within the uppermost part of Zone P5 (as redefined in Berggren and Pearson, 2005). PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- This species evolved from Acarinina soldadoensis in uppermost Zone P5 and probably gave rise to A. cuneicamerata. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Zone P5 (uppermost part) to Zone E7. Note that the Paleocene part of the range was not recorded by Olsson and others (l 999). GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Ranges from tropical to temperate regions; Arabian Sea, north Pacific Ocean (DSDP Site 47), New Jersey coastal Plain (Bass River), Tethyan deposits of northern Africa (Egypt) and occurrences in Spain (Alicante Province) and New Guinea. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.- No data available.
