Abstract

The middle to upper Eocene mixed carbonate-clastic and siliciclastic deposits of the Şevketiye and Keşan formations in northwest Turkey yielded unique assemblages of larger benthic foraminifera, some displaying a typical orbitoidiform test, not comparable to any known taxa in the Palaeogene of the Neo-Tethys. These specimens with a flat, discoidal test, occasionally with an indistinct central depression, possess a central layer of equatorial chambers/chamberlets displaying a cyclical (orbitoidal) growth pattern and thick lateral layers with numerous chamberlets. The megalospheric embryonic apparatus possesses three small chambers (a triconch, the chambers of which are separated by notably thin walls), followed by a large auxiliary chamberlet. These specimens closely correspond to the genus Caudriella Haman and Huddleston and its type-species Margaritella ospinae (Caudri) that has only previously been reported with confidence from the Caribbean region, notably the type locality within the middle Eocene Punta Mosquito Formation at Margarita Island off Venezuela. Caudriella at its type locality also possesses a trilocular embryonic apparatus, which was incorrectly interpreted as arranged in a rectilinear or slightly curved row. The diagnosis of Caudriella is emended and considering the similarities in their equatorial sections with closely associated Linderina Schlumberger, a comparison of their embryonic-nepionic stages is given from the same deposits in NW Turkey and with those from the middle Eocene of the Sulaiman Range (Pakistan) and Kutch (India). A new record of primitive Caudriella is presented from Jamaica. The palaeobiogeographic distribution of Caudriella is reconsidered, being recorded from both the American/Caribbean and the Western Neo-Tethys bioprovinces. Limited data suggest eastward directed dispersal of the genus, even though this would be counter to most of the prevailing surface currents during the Eocene.
新特提斯始新世中晚期Caudriella Haman和Huddleston的新记录:分类和古生物地理意义
土耳其西北部的Şevketiye和Keşan地层的中上始新世混合碳酸盐碎屑和硅碎屑沉积物产生了独特的大型底栖有孔虫组合,其中一些表现出典型的球状测试,与新特提斯古近纪的任何已知分类群都不可比。这些标本具有平坦的盘状测试,偶尔有模糊的中央凹陷,具有赤道室/室的中央层,显示出周期性(眶状)生长模式,以及具有大量室的厚侧层。巨球胚胎器有三个小腔(三腔,腔之间有明显的薄壁),然后是一个大的辅助腔。这些标本与Caudriella Haman属和Huddleston属及其模式种Margaritella ospinae(Caudri)密切对应,后者此前仅在加勒比海地区可靠报道,尤其是委内瑞拉附近Margarita岛始新世中期Punta Mosquito组内的模式区。Caudriella在其典型位置也有一个三眼胚胎器,被错误地解释为排列成直线或稍微弯曲的一排。对Caudriella的诊断进行了校正,并考虑到其赤道剖面与密切相关的Linderina Schlumberger的相似性,对土耳其西北部的同一矿床以及苏莱曼山脉(巴基斯坦)和库奇(印度)始新世中期的矿床的胚胎棉结期进行了比较。在牙买加发现了一个原始Caudriella的新记录。重新考虑了Caudriella的古生物地理分布,记录于美洲/加勒比和西部新特提斯生物区。有限的数据表明,该属向东扩散,尽管这与始新世的大多数主流地表洋流相反。
