Discussion / Comments:
Chaisson & Pearson (1997):
Specimens at the LO of this species are very close to Globorotalia tumida. They are relatively large with secondary encrusting calcite, but they retain a flat spiral side. Specimens in Sample 154-925B-13H-3, 60-62 cm, do not have the typical final chamber (radial length > tangential width), but the spiral side is flat and the test is ovate in umbilical view.
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: In umbilical view, Globorotalia plesiotumida is oblate in general outline. Its chambers are highly vaulted on the umbilical side. Its spiral side may be nearly flat to slightly convex, making it distinctively asymmetrical in edge view. Similar species: The proportions of the final chamber (see G. merotumida) are the most reliable character for distinguishing this species from G. merotumida. The final chamber of G. plesiotumida often looks more lobate and protruding than earlier chambers because of its greater radial length to width ratio. G. plesiotumida is distinguished from its descendent G. tumida by its generally smaller size, less tumid test, more pronounced asymmetrical edge view, and thinner peripheral keel. G. plesiotumida is generally intermediate in size between G. merotumida and G. tumida.
