Systematic Description of Foraminifera

4.1. Introduction

Systematics is the branch of biology concerned with classification and nomenclature.

Systematics helps to identify and establish the relationship between organism and the

prevailing environmental factors. It is based on the physical appearance of the

organism and is the results of environment in which organism survives. Then these

relationships are used in paleoecological studies where interpretations are based on

availability of fossils only. In this chapter, taxonomic description of the foraminifera

found in sediments off central east coast of India is described. The classification

proposed by Loeblich and Tappan (1988) has been followed in this study for

identification and illustration of foraminifera up to generic level. For species level

identification, Ellis and Messina Foraminifera catalogue was used. In case of

uncertain generic status of certain species (pages 692 to 715, Loeblich and Tappan,

1988) old version of 1964 has been followed.

4.2. Foraminiferal distribution

A total of 360 species belonging to 146 genera, 69 family, and 7 suborders are

reported here. Out of 360 species, 22 species belongs to planktic foraminifera.

Foraminifera belonging to Rotaliina suborder are dominant in the study area with 158

species and 74 genera, followed by Miliolina (59 species and 15 genera), Lagenina

(56 species and 14 genera), Textulariina (56 species and 26 genera), Globigerina (22

species and 14 genera) and Robertinina (3 species and 3 genera) while foraminifera

belonging to Spirillina are represented with only 2 species and 1 genera (Table 4.1)

Fig. 4.1 shows the abundance of foraminifera in Superfamilies, Families,

Genera and species wise in reported 7 Suborders. Among the Superfamilies,

maximum (57) number of species belong to Nodosariacea (Table 4.2), followed by

Miliolacea (56), Bolivinacea (34), Rotaliacea (20), and Buliminacea (20) while

Soritacea and Heterohelicacea Superfamilies were represented by 1 species each only.

32

Rest of the Superfamilies ranges from 1 to 20 species. Fig. 4.2 is the graphic

representation of distribution of species in Superfamilies.

the most abundant (6.34%), followed by Brizalina (4.96%), Textularia (4.68%),

Fissurina (4.68%) and Lagena (3.86%).

4.3. Repository of type material

All illustrated specimens in this study are catalogued with a prefix NIO/

Micropal/BOB ## and are deposited in repository of Micropaleontology Laboratory,

National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India.

For the present study, surface as well as subsurface sediments have been used

to fulfill the objectives. While all the surface sediments were studied to understand the

relationship between foraminiferal abundance/diversity and prevailing environment,

subsurface sediments were studied to find out the paleoenvironmental history of the

area on the basis of relationship deduced from surface sediments. Additionaly, in a

few surface sediments, coral reef indicator relict foraminifera have been reported

indicating the presence of ancient coral reef in the study area as well as the past sea

level fluctuation. These aspects are covered in the chapter 5 which includes the

inferences drawn from the relict foraminifera, whereas chapter 6 includes the

distribution and relationship of foraminifera to prevailing environment. The

paleoenvironmental inferences from subsurface sediments are covered in Chapter 7.

observe the features regarding chamber arrangement and sutures while apertural face

is made up of very coarse grained sediments. Sutures are depressed, angled and

parallel to each other. Side view shows tapering end towards proloculus indicating the

increase in the size of the chambers with specimen's growth.


Textularia sp. 2


Remarks: Test biserial, coarsely agglutinated. Due to coarseness, the features in

foraminifera are not clearly visible. Sutures depressed and straight. Aperture a low

arch at the base of the apertural face.

Remarks: Test biserial throughout and finely agglutinated. Sutures straight, depressed

and parallel to each other. Aperture at the base of apertural face.

(Plate 13 Fig. 12)

Bolivina simpsoni Heron- Allen and Earland, 1915, P. 648, Pl. 49, Fig. 18- 35

Remarks: Similar species has been kept under B. lobata my most of the workers.

However the presence of raised riblike suture and its extension towards the periphery

is a distinguished character of B. simpsoni and not B. lobata. In case of B. lobata, it is

the extension of chamber itself and the type species does not show any raised rib like

suture.



Bolivina sp. A


Remarks: Biserial ornamented test with rimmed aperture. Early sutures almost

straight as test progresses upwards sutures inclined almost 45°.
