Species Chiloguembelina wilcoxensis Cushman & Ponton 1932

Diagnosis / Definition:

Pearson et al. (2006):
DESCRIPTION. See Olsson and others (1999) for a more complete description and discussion of this species.

Discussion / Comments:

Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks: C. wilcoxensis is usually rare in upper Paleocene-lower Eocene samples from Sites 752 and 757.
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.- Distinguished by its large test size, broadly rounded periphery, rapid chamber size increase in initial portion of test, and symmetrically centered, low-arched to semicircular aperture surrounded by an equidimensional to slightly asymmetrically widened lip (see Olsson and others, 1999 for holotype illustrations and additional information). Differs from C. trinitatensis by having an intially rapidly tapering test that usually becomes parallel-sided in the final two pairs of adult chambers. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE- Upper Paleocene Zone P4b through lower Eocene Zone E4. At middle latitude sites on the New Jersey coastal margin Liu and others (1 997) recorded the H0 of C. wilcoxensis in the middle of their Zone P6a (-Zone E2). For the southern high latitudes the L0 of C. wilcoxensis was reported slightly earlier than at low latitudes, within middle Zone AP2 (-Zone P4b), and the extinction of this species marks the top of the Chiloguemhelina wilcoxensis Zone (AE1) of Huber and Quillévéré (2005). PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS.- Evolved from Chiloguembelina crinita during the late Paleocene. STABLE ISOTOPE PALEOBIOL0GY.- Recorded by Boersma and others (1987) with relatively negative oxygen isotope ratios, indicating predominant growth in the upper surface mixed layer.
