Discussion / Comments: |
Caron (1985):
This species is one of the more distinctive among the Globo-
truncanidae. The spiral side is slightly convex, the umbilical
side slightly concave. The two peripheral keels are variably
spaced, greatest separation occurring at the midpoints of the
chambers. The keels are composed of short, radially oriented
costeilae- A. mayaroensis diners from A. inlermedius in the
presence of a double keel on all chambers of the last whorl.
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. Rare and usually rather small, with a weakly developed second keel, the encountered A. mayaroensis specimens are intermediate with A. intermedius (Bolli, 1951) at Sites 752, 754, and 758. |
