Morphological and biometrical analyses show that&nbsp;<em>P. pseudorjasanensis</em>&nbsp;is characterized by wide intraspecific variabilities and may encompass various previously described Kimmeridgian species of the genus&nbsp;<em>Pseudolamarckina</em>. The first appearance of&nbsp;<em>P. pseudorjasanensis</em>&nbsp;is recorded from the latest Early Kimmeridgian of sub-Mediterranean to Arctic regions. Furthermore,&nbsp;<em>P. pseudorjasanensis</em>&nbsp;appears to be the marker species of the foraminiferal JF41 Zone in Kimmeridgian sections of sub-boreal, boreal and Arctic regions. This JF41 Zone is particularly significant for interregional correlations. Finally,&nbsp;<em>P. pseudorjasanensis</em>&nbsp;was widespread across the Kimmeridgian basins of the Northern Hemisphere and was associated with environments predominantly located in the middle sublittoral zone.</p&gt;}, journal={Polar Research}, author={Colpaert Clémentine Peggy Anne-Marie and Leonidovich Nikitenko Boris}, year={2019}, month={Mar.} }
