Uneven Distribution of Pseudotormentus De Wever et Caridroit (Radiolaria, Protozoa): Provincialism of a Permian Planktonic Microorganism

The Permian planktonic distribution is not well known, in contrast to other fossil distributions of nekton and benthos. Radiolaria are representative microfossils of plankton in the Permian palaeocean. This study compares both correlated radiolarian occurrences (Pseudotormentus De Wever et Caridroit and Quadriremis Nazarov et Ormiston) in literature data from the Pacific Rim and quantitative data from the Liuhuang and Gujingling sections in South China. Pseudotormentus distributions are concentrated in the Panthalassa, whereas Quadriremis occurrences are distributed over both the Panthalassa and the Palaeotethys. The uneven distribution of Pseudotormentus seems to have been controlled by a difference in the oceanic basins, indicating the presence of faunal differences in Permian planktonic microorganisms between the Panthalassa and the Palaeotethys. In other words, this study infers the provincialism of Permian planktonic microorganisms. The uneven distribution is explainable by a hypothesis that Pseudotormentus was strongly affected by a Panthalassan equatorial current.
