Abstract
At Tagogapu in West Java, the Miogypsinidae larger benthic foraminifera from the Rajamandala Limestone have been studied for biometric trends in evolution. Observed taxa include Neorotalia mecatepecensis, Paleomiogypsina sp., Miogypsinella bornea, Miogypsinoides complanatus, and Miogypsinoides formosensis, with biometric parameters (X, Y, Z, AX, and γ) revealing distinct phylogenetic trends through heterochrony. Neorotalia mecatepecensis morphotype A is identified as the basal species, while Neorotalia mecatepecensis morphotype B diverges through nepionic retardation. The transition to Paleomiogypsina sp. is marked by the development of auxiliary chambers. The transition to Miogypsinella bornea is suggested by the addition of secondary foramen and more auxiliary chambers. The evolution to Miogypsinoides complanatus is characterized by the planispiral nepionic, loss of an apertural lip, and broader auxiliary chamber arrangements. The speciation of Miogypsinoides formosensis is recognized by the peramorphic addition of late adult stage auxiliary chambers. Biostratigraphic analysis and strontium isotopic dating place the studied taxa within the Te 2-3 to Te 4 Letter Stage (late Oligocene). This research highlights the biostratigraphic application of biometric methods in a lineage with heterochronous evolutionary trends, and proposes AX as a robust metric for the descendant peramorphic forms.
期刊介绍:
Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to the study of past life and its environment. We encourage submission of original manuscripts on all aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional and global data in time and space, and results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscientists and palaeobiologists as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as palaeobiology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny, geobiology, historical geology, and palaeoenvironment.
Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:
•Phylogeny and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups
•Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy
•Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history
•Tempo and mode of biological evolution
•Biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)
•Ecosystem evolution
•Geobiology and molecular palaeobiology
•Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods
•Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strata
