Chaisson & Pearson (1997):
The transition from T. tosaensis to T. truncatulinoides is defined by the development of an imperforate peripheral keel or band. Specimens of T. tosaensis very close to T. truncatulinoides, but with perforate peripheral bands, are observed both above the FO of the latter species in Sample
154-925B-5H-6, 65-67 cm, and below it in Sample 154-925B-8H-5, 65-67 cm.
Specimens of the delicate tenuitheca morphotype are observed in Sample 154-925B-4H-6, 65-67 cm. Rare specimens of the cavernula morphotype (Kennett and Srinivasan, 1983) are observed in Samples 154-925B-1H-1, 65-67 cm, and 1H-3, 65-67. |
