Taxonomy
Citation: Orbulina dOrbigny, 1839
Rank: genus
Type species: Orbulina universus
Taxonomic discussion: Orbulina universa, the type species of Orbulina, was originally described from Recent sands off Cuba in 1839, and since then, several authors have amended the
original description and diagnosis of the genus (Costa, 1856, see Ellis and Messina, 1940, et seq.; Brnnimann, 1951; Blow, 1956). [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Catalog entries: Orbulina;

Type images:
Short diagnosis: Spherical terminal chamber:

NB The short diagnoses are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus. They have initially been copied from the diagnostic
characters/distinguishing features sections of the Eocene and Paleocene Atlases, they will be edited as the site is developed.

Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Phylogenetic relations: Orbulina was derived from Praeorbulina [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Most likely ancestor: Mutabella - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig. 11, Spezzaferri et al. 2015.
Biostratigraphic distribution
Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Langhian Stage (13.82-15.97Ma, base in Langhian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: This is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. See also: customisable plot Parent: Globigerinidae
