Species Acarinina pseudotopilensis Subbotina 1953


Diagnosis / Definition:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. Type of wall: Densely muricate, nonspinose, normal perforate. Test morphology: Subquadrate to suboval, weakly lobulate outline; 4 inflated chambers in last whorl; umbilical sutures distinct, radial, depressed/ incised, with result that chamber contact(s) are disjunct along peripheral margin in some individuals; chambers densely muricate (marked by blunt, triangular muricae), concentrated along periphery but not forming a muricocarina; umbilicus small, deep, in many individuals obscured by overhanging, rounded umbilical shoulder; aperture an umbilical-extraumbilical low arch, extending towards the peripheral margin, bordered in most individuals by a thin lip; 10-12 chambers on spiral side disposed in 2 to 3 whorls; early whorl(s) slightly elevated; chambers tangentially longer than radially broad, meeting at nearly right angles, increasing gradually in size, often assuming a subrectangular shape; final chamber strongly inflated in some individuals and assuming a markedly rectangular or even cuneatel trapezoidal shape; murical development highly variable but concentrated generally along the peripheral margin; discrete, sutural openings visible on some individuals (often obscured by muricae on overhanging edges of previous/adjacent chambers); plano-convex in edge view; spiral side slightly elevated; ventral (umbilical) margin(s) rounded to anguloconical. Size: Diameter: 0.35-0.55 mm; thickness: 0.25-0.35 mm (Subbotina, 1953, p. 229); up to 0.46 mm (Berggren, 1 960a, p. 94).

Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- Distinguished from Acarinina esnaensis and A. wilcoxensis by its triangular to wedge- or cuneate-shaped chambers in the final whorl, disjunct (separation of) chamber margins and more densely muricate wall; from A. quetra by its less anguloconical test and lack of muricocarina. DISCUSSION.- Acarinina pseudotopilensis was originally described from the Zone of compressed globorotaliids and Zone of conical globorotaliids (roughly equivalent to Zones P4-E6 of this study) in the northern Caucasus (Subbotina, 1953), although all illustrated specimens were from the Eocene part of this range. Test shape/geometry and ornament would seem to place this morphotype betwen Acarinina wilcoxensis and A. quetra. Blow (1 979) indicated a range from Zone P6 to P l0 (=E3-E8) but illustrated forms only from (his) Zones P6 to P8b (=Zones E3-E5) and it is in this (bio)stratigraphic interval that this form develops its characteristic morphology. We have not observed morphotypes referable topseudotopilensis below upper Zone P5 in the course of our studies. Blow (1979) considered that pseudotopilensis was the stem form of a lineage that led to Acarinina topilensis in the middle Eocene and he named a new species, praetopilensis, for an intermediate morphology that first appears in Zone P9 (=E7 of this paper) and shows the beginnings of circum-cameral fusion of muricae that is more strongly developed in topilensis. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Uppermost Paleocene / basal Eocene (uppermost Zone P5 or Zone El) to lower Eocene Zone E7. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Evolved from A. wilcoxensis shortly after the first appearance of that species in the latest Paleocene and was ancestral to A. quetra in the early Eocene and A. boudreauxi and A. mcgowrani in the later part of the early Eocene. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.- Widely distributed in (sub)tropical regions (Caribbean, North and South Atlantic, Indo-Pacific Oceans, Tethyan region (East, West and North Africa, North Caucasus). STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.- Boersma and others (1987)record this species with relatively negative ò18O indicating a shallow water habitat like other acarininids.
