Species Globigerinelloides blowi Bolli 1959


Diagnosis / Definition:
Leckie (1990):
Test small (0.10-0.15 mm), evolute. Five to six smooth, inflated, subspherical to ovoid chambers in the final whorl. Chambers increase gradually in size as added. Umbilicus wide. Aperture a low arch with thin lip; relict apertures not discernible.
Discussion / Comments:
Caron (1985):
Bolli (1959) distinguished two species on the basis of spherical as against laterally compressed chambers, as did Chevalier (1961) with his two species. G. blowi differs from G. subcarinata in the absence of an acute axial margin, from G. ultramicra in having fewer chambers.
Leckie (1990):
Typical specimens of Globigerinelloides blowi s.l. have four to five chambers in the final whorl (Masters, 1977; Leckie, 1984),although Longoria (1974, pl. 4, fig. 7) illustrates a specimen with as many as seven. Specimens from Hole 693A have five to six chambers in the final whorl. Six-chambered forms bear a strong resemblance to G. aptiense Longoria (see illustrations by Longoria, 1974, and Leckie, 1984). G. blowi s.l. is characterized by its distinctive small size, smooth surface, and inflated chambers. G. aptiense tends to be larger, up to 0.40 mm according to Longoria (1974). In addition, the overall chamber shape and arrangement differ from G. blowi s.l., and G. aptiense lacks the smooth surface of G. blowi s.l. Therefore, despite having as many as six chambers in the final whorl, the specimens from Hole 693A are assigned to the G. blowi group. Leckie (1984) noted that G. blowi s.l. is particularly common through the upper Aptian of DSDP Site 545 (eastern North Atlantic), and then becomes rare in lower and middle Albian strata.
Pflaumann & Krasheninnikov (1977):
Five to six chambers form the involute last coil. Umbilicus shallow, wide. This species had been recorded from Aptian strata of Trinidad, France, Bavaria, Mexico, and Spain. Longoria (1974) reported its range from early Aptian to Hedbergella gorbatchikae Zone (late Aptian).
