globular, oval in outline, chambers globular; in spiral
view 3 1/2-4 globular, embracing chambers in ultimate
whorl, increasing rapidly in size, sutures moderately
depressed, straight to slightly curved; in umbilical view
3 1/2 globular, embracing chambers, increasing rapidly
in size, sutures moderately depressed, straight, umbilicus small, enclosed by surrounding chambers, aperture umbilical to slightly extraumbilical, directed somewhat anteriorly over the umbilicus, bordered by a thin, irregular lip; in edge view chambers globular in shape, embracing, aperture visible as a circular arch, bordered by a thin, irregular lip.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.-
The species is
characterized by its generally large adult size and
globular, embracing, chambers with a low-arched
aperture bordered by a thin irregular lip.
DTSCUSSI0N.-
Hagn and Lindenberg (1969) selected
a neotype for Globigerina eocaena Guembel, 1868
because, apparently, Guembel had not designed a type
specimen when he described this species. Hagn and
Lindenberg could not locate his original material in the
Bavarian State collections for Paleontology and 1 Historical Geology in Munich. Hence, they selected a
neotype from a sample taken from strata that Guembel
had studied in 1 868 from the Gerhartsreiter Graben near
Siegsdorf, Austria. A species that appears
morphologically similar to-G. eocaena is Globigerina
eocaenica Terquem, 1882. The type specimen of C.
eocaenica, according to Berggren (1960) is broken and
unusable and the beds from which the species is
described are no longer available for collection.
Berggren (1960) recommended that Terquem's taxon
be considered as nomen dubium non consewandum.
Terquem shows a globular 3 1/2 chambered form with
globular, embracing chambers, a morphology that falls
within the range of G. eocaena. Since Terquem
described G. eocaenica from the middle Eocene where
G. eocaena is common, it is probable that G. eocaenica
is a junior synonym of G. eocaena.
Subbotina (1953) described Globigerina
pseudoeocaena, which she separated from her concept
of Globigerina eocaena. The neotype of G. eocaena,
however, more closely resembles, for the most part, the
varieties of G. pseudoeocaena described by Subbotina.
Both G. pseudoeocaena var. compacta and G.
pseudoeocaena var. trilobata are 3 1/2 chambered globular forms that fall within the morphologic range of
Subbotina eocaena. The holotype of G. pseudoeocaena
var. pseudoeocaena has the morphological characteristics
of Subbotina yeguaensis whereas other illustrations of
this variety by Subbotina exhibit the morphology of S.
eocaena. The specimens illustrated by Subbotina as G.
eocaena show the looser coiling characteristic of
Subbotina hagni.
PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.-
Subbotina eocaena belongs to a group of closely related Eocene large-sized subbotinids, which includes S. hagni and S. corpulenta. It probably evolved from S. roesnaesensis
n. sp. by an increase in test size and the development of
globular, more imbracing chambers.
GEOGRAPHIC D1STRTBUTION.-
Global in low to mid latitudes.
STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.-
Recorded by
Boersma and others (1987) and Stott and others (1990)
(as S. eocaenicu) with relatively positive ò18O indicating
a deep planktonic habitat. Pearson and others (2001) also
recorded it as a deep-dwelling form. A lowermost
Oligocene sample analyzed by Van Eijden and Ganssen
(1995) recorded a more intermediate ò18O value. |
