Species Globigerinatheka semiinvoluta Keijzer 1945


Alternative name:
Globigerinatheka (Globigerapsis) semiinvoluta Kejizer 1945
Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Tvpe of wall: Spinose, cancellate, thin, with a high density of pores, < 0.04 mm in diameter. Test morphology: Test spherical with a very large hemispherical last chamber embracing half or more of the earlier chambers with one to four prominent, circular, secondary apertures (commonly 3) mainly bordered by a marked rim; early chambers coiled in a low and rather short trochospire, separated by poorly visible sutures that become slightly more distinct and slightly depressed in the adult. Size: The size of specimens is highly variable. Diameter may be up to 0.55 mm, however much smaller specimens are common especially in mid latitudes. In smaller morphotypes, the hemispherical last chamber shows much smaller or even poorly visible secondary apertures.
Discussion / Comments:
Toumarkine & Luterbacher (1985):
The main character of G. semiinvoluta is the final hemispherical chamber which embraces nearly half of the earlier test and the high-arched to circular sutural apertures with distinct rims. However, a great amount of intraspecific variability can be seen in the dimensions of the test as well as the size and the number and shape of the apertures. This variability is due to ecologic conditions: the typical specimens found in tropical areas (Figs. 39.8, 15, 17) are generally larger with better developed apertures than those of the temperate areas (Figs. 39.1-6, 12-14). The number of apertures (1 to 4, commonly 2 or 3) is not directly related to the size of the specimen. G. semiinvoluta differs from G. index tropicalis by its larger and more embracing final chamber and its less incised sutures. It differs from G. mexicana mexicana by the same characters and also by its generally larger size, at least in tropical regions.
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- Globigerinatheka semiinvoluta differs from all the other globular globigerinathekids by its very inflated enveloping last chamber, its large and noticeably rimmed, circular secondary apertures, much shorter initial trochospire and mainly indistinct sutures. Globigerinatheka mexicana and G. semiinvoluta differ by the circular apertures with distinctive rims in G. semiinvoluta, which are not present in G. mexicana. G. semiinvoluta is distinguished from G. tropicalis by an embracing final chamber. DISCUSSION.- Originally described as Globigerinoides semi-involutus by Keijzer, the hyphen has been removed (ICZN, Art. 32.5) and the ending has been changed to agree in gender with Globigerinatheka (ICZN, Art. 31.2). Bolli (1957) designated hypotypes of G. semiinvoluta from the type locality (Navet Formation, Trinidad). Blow and Saito (1 968a) suggested that G. semiinvoluta was synonymous with G. mexicana. However, we recognise G. semiinvoluta and G. mexicana as taxonomically and stratigraphically distinct, although transitional forms occur in uppermost Zone E13 to lowermost Zone E14. Blow (1979, p. 788) stated that G. korotkovi is taxonomically indistinguishable from G. semiinvoluta even though the former species is high spired; he also included G. lindiensis (here considered a synonym of G. tropicalis) saying it is not worth differentiating this species taxonomically from G. semiinvoluta (p. 791) as well as G. rubriformis (here G. korotkovi) that he considered as immature specimens of G. semiinvoluta (p. 8 13). Blow (1 979) included G. semiinvoluta in the genus Porticulasphaera, emended, here considered a junior synonym of Globigerinatheka. Toumarkine (1975) attributed to G. semiinvoluta (and illustrated) two small specimens from Shatsky Rise that exhibit a very rough surface. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Blow and Banner (1962) suggested that G. semiinvoluta evolved from G. tropicalis, a relationship that is not supported here. In the western North Atlantic (ODP Site 1052), G. semiinvoluta appears to descend from G. mexicana, a phylogeny also proposed by Bolli (1972) and Blow (1979). The distinct rimmed apertures and less depressed sutures developed in the upper middle Eocene to lower upper Eocene with trandtional forms evident in uppermost E1 3 to lowermost E1 4. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Globigerinatheka semiinvoluta is common in low latitudes, with well developed large specimens, and extends to temperate latitudes with smaller specimens. It is absent in high latitudes. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.- Oxygen and carbon isotopic data indicate that G. semiinvoluta occupied a mixed layer habitat (Poore and Matthews, 1984; Pearson and others, 2001; Wade and Kroon, 2002, referred to as G. mexicana).
