Stratigraphic patterns in the preferred direction of coiling of these forms are assessed, and their potential utility for biostratigraphic correlation is discussed. We find that all three lineages show a transition from approximately random coiling (although with a slight discernible sinistral bias in D. altispira) to sinistral predominance in both oceans, although the timing and pattern of change is different in each case.completedStratigraphyAtlantic Oceanbiologic evolutionbiostratigraphyCenozoiccoilingDentoglobigerina altispiraFohsellaForaminiferaindex fossilsInvertebrataLeg 144Leg 154microfossilsMiocenemorphologyNeogeneOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 871ODP Site 925Pacific OceanParagloborotalia mayeriphylogenyplanktonic taxaProtistaTertiaryurn:org.iodp:exp:144urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:154urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:144:site:871urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:144urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:154:site:925urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:154urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-43.2922172.20404.12155.3326
