Species Globigerinatella insueta Cushman & Stainforth 1945


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test small, subglobular, early portion trochospiral with the final chamber usually embracing; chambers of the early portion spherical, rapidly increasing in size; the large, embracing final chamber constitutes more than 70 percent of the test; surface smooth, in large part covered by tiny crystallites and with extremely small microperf orations; aperture in the early stage interiomarginal-umbilical, in the later chambers with secondary sutural and areal apertures, surrounded by distinct lips, with small knobby pustule-like bullae sometimes covering the areal secondary apertures or crescent-shaped sutural bullae cover the secondary sutural apertures. All bullae may have infralaminal accessory apertures.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Gt. insueta is distinguished from its ancestor Globigerinita glutinata by its embracing final chamber and by its second- ary sutural and areal supplementary apertures.
Bolli & Saunders (1985):
The species is readily recognizable by its more or less globular test with irregularly distributed bullae, which are either small, more or less circular in shape and covering individual sutural or areal apertures, or may extend, tube like, along intercameral sutures. Superficially juveniles of the species are closest to Globigerinita naparimaensis, which however differs in a less globular test and in possessing only one bulla that extends along the sutures on the umbilical side. There are also no areal apertures with bullae in G. naparimaensis. Broken specimens of Globigerinatella insueta frequently show areal apertures on earlier chambers, often surrounded by small raised lips, a feature that is very characteristic for the species (Fig. 18.6).
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: The areal secondary apertures on early forms can be very few (1 or 2) and difficult to find. They can become blocked with chalk and resemble dimpled pustules. When the areal apertures become more numerous on later forms, they occur in patches on the final chamber. Similar species: Species of Orbulina are cancellate and more spherical. Early forms of Globigerinatella insueta with few areal apertures are distinguished from Praeorbulina sicana by their microperforate wall in contrast to the distinctly cancellate wall of the latter taxon. G. insueta is gradational with Globigerinita glutinata in the early part of its range (e.g., see Plate 10, Fig. 3). These early forms are primarily distinquished by the oversized final chamber, more extensive sutural bullae, presence of areal bullae, and the occasional areal aperture (see Bolli et al., 1957).
