摘要

Detailed biostratigraphic analyses of lower Eocene sediments from the South Dover Bridge (SDB) core, Maryland (USA), and preliminary analyses of outcropping sediments along the Waipara River in New Zealand, have revealed the presence of a new species of Tribrachiatus that has a distinctly different morphology and biostratigraphic range from T. orthostylus. Tribrachiatus orthostylus consists of triangular-shaped specimens that exhibit low birefringence under polarized light, and have three relatively flat arms of equal length, often showing bifurcations at the ends. The first occurrence (FO) of T. orthostylus is in upper Zone NP10, and is commonly used to delineate the base of Zone NP11 in truncated sections. In comparison, Tribrachiatus sp. consists of crescent-shaped specimens that exhibit a higher order of birefringence under polarized light, have two arms of similar length that are strongly curved, and a third, shorter arm that extends upward and is perpendicular to the curved arms. In the SDB core, the first occurrence of T. orthostylus is at the base of Zone NP11 (187.1 m); NP10 is truncated because of erosion at this site. The first occurrence of Tribrachiatus sp. is at 184.8 m, after the FO of Discoaster kuepperi and just before the FO of D. lodoensis at 184.0 m. The last occurrence of both species occurs at the top of Zone NP12, after the FO's of Ericsonia formosa,Helicosphaera seminulum, and Reticulofenestra spp. Comparison of the percent abundances of both T. orthostylus and Tribrachiatus sp. to the bulk δ~(13)C curve of the SDB core suggests that both of these species were sensitive to changing paleoclimate conditions during early Eocene hyperthermal events.
