REVISION OF PALEOCENE-EOCENE PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERAL BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF THE GENUS IGORINA THROUGH PARSIMONY ANALYSIS.
The evolution of planktonic foraminifera in the Paleocene-Eocene time interval is characterized by a high rate of diversification after the major extinction event observed at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. The accelerated speciation rate resulted in the appearance of several new genera (i.e., Pr...

The evolution of planktonic foraminifera in the Paleocene-Eocene time interval is characterized by a high rate of diversification after the major extinction event observed at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. The accelerated speciation rate resulted in the appearance of several new genera (i.e., Praemurica, Igorina, Morozovella, Acarinina among others) each of them identified on the basis of distinctive wall texture of the shell. Phylogenetic relationships within many genera are still poor understood including the origin and phylogeny of the genus Igorina. This group, characterized by a thick, nonspinose and incrusted wall, appears in Subzone P3a (early late Paleocene, Selandian) and disappears in Zone E9 (middle Eocene, Lutetian).
