Species Paragloborotalia mayeri Cushman & Ellisor 1939


Discussion / Comments:
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: Globorotalia semivera is included under this species concept because of the highly gradational nature of these forms in the lower Miocene (see Leckie et al., this volume). Assignment to the genus Paragloborotalia is based on Spezzaferri's (1991) classification of the spinose "opima" group and derivation of Paragloborotalia mayeri from the "opima" group cf. Kennett and Srinivasan (1983). However, no spine holes where observed upon SEM examination of several specimens. In samples where this was the dominant species, it represented a larger percentage of the assemblage than did any other large species through the entire record at this site. Similar species: See Globorotalia challengeri. Neogloboquadrina continuosa is similar to P. mayeri, but it only has four chambers in the final whorl. P. mayeri is distinquished from Globorotalia peripheroronda by its more inflated chambers and higher arched aperture.
