TL;DR: Foraminifera are considered as Textulariata (as generally admitted), recrystallized Fusulinata or an independent group, sometimes called Astrorhizata as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: Groves et al. as discussed by the authors studied the evolution of fusulinoidean fusulinides during the end-Permian mass extinction and found that only two non-fusulinidean genera persisted into the Early Triassic.
TL;DR: Foraminifer faunas from the Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) transition at the Dajiang and Bianyang sections in the Nanpanjiang Basin, South China, comprise 61 species in 40 genera as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Newly obtained foraminifer faunas from the Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) transition at the Dajiang and Bianyang sections in the Nanpanjiang Basin, South China, comprise 61 species in 40 genera. They belong to the Palaeofusulina sinensis Zone, the youngest Permian foraminifer zone in South China. Quantitative analysis reveals that the last occurrences of more than a half of species (28/54) fall into a 60-cm-interval at the uppermost Changhsingian skeletal packstone unit and thus calibrate the end-Permian extinction to the skeletal packstone-calcimicrobial framestone boundary. About 93% (54/58) of species of the latest Permian assemblage became extinct in the P-Tr crisis. Four major foraminiferal groups, the Miliolida, Fusulinida, Lagenida, and Textulariina, have extinction rates up to 100%, 96%, 92%, and 50%, respectively, and thus experienced selective extinctions. Both Hemigordius longus and ?Globivalvulina bulloides temporarily survived the end-Permian extinction event and extended into the earliest ...
TL;DR: An endemic fusulinid assemblage was described from Sakmarian rocks of the Central Pamir as mentioned in this paper, consisting of 42 species and subspecies belonging to the genera Pseudofusulina, Sphaeroschwagerina, Paraschwhagerina, Zellia, Robustoschwanderina, Eoparafusulin, Schubertella, Pseudoendothyra and Pseudoreichelina ; 24 species and Subspecies are newly named.
Abstract: An endemic fusulinid assemblage is herein first described from Sakmarian rocks of the Central Pamir. It consists of 42 species and subspecies belonging to the genera Pseudofusulina , Sphaeroschwagerina , Paraschwhagerina , Zellia , Robustoschwagerina , Eoparafusulina , Schubertella , Pseudoendothyra and Pseudoreichelina ; 24 species and subspecies are newly named. Comparative studies of the above assemblage and the fusulinid fauna from other regions show that the former is characteristic of the peri-Gondwana area of the Tethys. The endemic elements recognized in the assemblage apparenrly are related to climatic factors.
