Species Acarinina primitiva Finlay 1947


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Coarsely muricate, often with relatively smooth umbilical face to final chamber, normal perforate, nonspinose. Test morphology: Robust, compact, subquadrate, strongly and bluntly muricate test; 3-4 triangular-shaped chambers in last whorl); chambers arranged at distinct right angles to each other and usually separated by distinct and incised sutures (particularly between preantepenultimate and antepenultimate chambers) on the umbilical side; umbilicus narrow, deep; aperture asymmetrically placed at base of last chamber, intereriomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical; high, smooth or beaded (but not muricate) face to final chamber above aperture; chambers on spiral side tangentially longer than broad; sutures curved, generally obscured by muricate ornament; peripheral margin subangular in edge view. Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.29 mm, thickness 0.26 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Toumarkine & Luterbacher (1985):
The last whorl of the compact test has 3 to 4 somewhat compressed chambers which are longer than wide on the spiral side. The umbilicus is small, but deep. The aperture, which is umbilical to extraumbilical-umbilical in position has a distinct lip. The surface is covered with coarse blunt spines or pustules.
Jenkins (1985):
The small subquadrate test of A. primitiva distinguishes it from other Acarinina species. Because of this test shape it was placed in Pseudogloboquadrina by Jenkins (1966a). In New Zealand A. primitiva has a long range from the Late Paleocene to the Middle Eocene. A similar range was recorded at DSDP Leg 29 Site 277 south of New Zealand (Jenkins, 1975), and ranges of Middle Eocene at DSDP Leg 40 Site 360 and Late Paleocene to Early Eocene at Site 362 (Tournarkine, 1978).
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. See A. coalingensis (Cushman and Hanna, 1927).
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- Distinguished by triangular (broadly wedge-shaped) chambers; asymmetrically situated aperture resulting in distinct projection of umbilical face of last chamber over the umbilicus. Acarinina coalingensis has more rounded, inflated chambers than A. primitiva and lacks the straight, incised intercameral sutures on the umbilical side. DISCUSSION.- The outward, superficial morphologic similarity of the type species primitiva to that of the Neogene globoquadrinid form Globoquadrina dehiscens led Jenkins (1965b) to create the generic name Pseudogloboquadrina for Eocene morphotypes, but the morphology is similar to other Paleogene acarininids and this name is unnecessary (see also Blow, 1979, p. 950). Acarinina primitiva is the dominant acarininid in middle Eocene austral assemblages and its disappearance/extinction in the late middle Eocene (?Chron C18n) is a useful datum level for regional correlation. See discussion in Berggren and Norris (1 997, p. 69), Olsson and others (1999, p. 437) and above for A. coalingensis for further relevant data. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- This form descended from Acarinina coalingensis in the early Eocene by means of developing a more subquadrate test and concomitant sutural incision and chamber separation in the final whorl. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Zone E6 to Zone E13. Berggren and others (2000) recorded the lowest/earliest occurrence of A. primitiva in association with the lowest/ earliest A. coalingensis in Zone P4c and Chron C25r and C25n at DSDP Site 384 in the northwest Atlantic Ocean (see also compilation in Berggren and others, 1995, p. 155); we now regard these records as referable to A. coalingensis. The last occurrence datum has been fixed by Huber (1991) to lower Zone APl 1 at Sites 738 Kerguelen Plateau, by Stott and Kennett (l 990) to a level in mid-Chron C 18n at ODP Site 689 on Maud Rise and by Berggren (1992) to a level within/slightly above questionable Chron 18n at Site 748, Kerguelen Plateau, which is approximately equivalent to Zone E13 in the (sub)tropics. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Essentially temperate-high latitude (austral; South Indian Ocean and Subantarctic Ocean distribution; less commonly reported in low latitudes (Caribbean, Atlantic, Indo-Pacific). STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.- No data available.
