Fusulinids.

Fusulinids exhibit a substantial diversification from the mid-Carboniferous to early Cisuralian and constitute an important component of the Carboniferous-Permian Biodiversification Event along with brachiopods and crustaceans. Fusulinid diversity declined slightly until the Lopingian, ...The fusulinids as a large,warm-water foraminifera were quite sensitive to water temperature. The optimalwater temperature for recent warm-water benthic foraminifera with livingsymbionts, and consequently for fusulinids, is 20–30°C, while the lower limit is 14–16°C.Pennsylvanian fusulinids and calcareous algae from Sonora (northwestern Mexico), and their biostratigraphic and palaeobiogeographic implications. Tafonomia del gasteropodo cf. Donaldina robusta (Heterobranchia: Streptacididae) del Pensilvanico Medio, Formacion La Joya, Sonora, MexicoThe Permian basin of west Texas and Southeastern New Mexico is one of the major petroleum producing regions of the United States. This basin produced 3% of the world's petroleum in 1984 and in that year, 1% of the world's proven reserves were in the Permian basin (Robichaud, 1989). Most of the Upper Permian hydrocarbon reservoirs are in San Andres and Grayburg formations (Galloway et al., 1983).Furthermore, this assemblage bears two unusual attributes: overwhelming dominance of Verbeekina and relatively low total diversity, compared with coeval fusulinids from South China, which represents a paleo-tropical setting during the middle Permian. These features indicate that the Baoshan Block was probably located in a subtropical setting ...

The Fusulinidae is a family of fusulinacean foraminifera from the upper Carboniferous (Lower Pennsylvanian, Morrowan) to the Upper Permian ( Guadalupian ), tests of which are fusiform to subcylindrical with walls of two to four layers. Are planispirally coiled throughout or with early whorls at a distinct angle to the later plane of coiling.In all fusulinids which have an ellipsoidal outer shape and which have either septal folding in the polar region (e.g. Triticites) orfolded septa throughout (e.g. Schwagerina), one can observe a torsion in the polar ends of the chambers with respect to the axis of coiling (Leppig, 1992). This applies also to Codonofusiella during its fusiform ...

When fusulinids are present, they are in the marine limestone or in shale associated with it. Fusulinids have been reported in 12 different marine limestones of the ...At Chongyang, abundant benthos (over 80%), including rugose corals, fusulinids, calcareous algae, and large foraminifers, disappeared precipitously at the topmost of Changxing Formation grainstone, which suggested complete damage of the benthic ecosystem, confirming a sudden single-pulse extinction pattern. The end-Permian regression, marked by ...Fusulinids from this upper part were identified as Triticites and Schwagerina (Fang and Fan, 1994, pl. II). We double-checked the illustrations of these fusulinids and believed they are more likely Eoparafusulina, because they lack strong chomata diagnostic for Triticites and possess elongated tests common for Eoparafusulina.

Fusulinids are larger benthic foraminifera of late Paleozoic and index fossils for Permo-Carboniferous strata. The traditional methods to examine their internal structures are through ground thin sections, which however caused lots of ambiguities regarding the morphological diagnostics and taxonomic identification.Fusulinid Limestones--One group of the single-celled animals called Foraminifera is known as the fusulinids.
