Macroevolution and Biostratigraphy of Paleozoic Foraminifers

Vachard, D.

Abstract

A new classification presented for the Paleozoic foraminifers encompasses six classes: Allogromiata, Astrorhizata, Fusulinata, Miliolata, Nodosariata, and Textulariata. The three main classes, Fusulinata, Miliolata, and Nodosariata, include 10 orders, 17 suborders, and 32 superfamilies. The biostratigraphy of these subdivisions and main genera is summarized. Some paleobiogeographical implications are given. Emended and new taxa are: Tuberitinoidea emend.; Calcisphaeroidea n. superfam.; Pseudoammodiscina emend.; Tournayellina n. subord.; Tournayelloidea emend.; Lasiodiscina emend.; Earlandiina n. subord.; Caligellina n. subord.; Eonodosariina n. subord.; Pseudopalmulida emend.; Pseudopalmuloidea emend.; Fusulinata emend.; Fusulinana emend.; Lituobellina n. subord.; Staffellina emend.; Calcivertelloidea n. superfam.
