Species Sphaeroidinellopsis seminulina Schwager 1866


Discussion / Comments:
Bolli & Saunders (1985):
In this species a further thickening of the glassy cortex is seen compared with S. disjucta and S. multiloba. This results in the intercameral sutures becoming less incised and sometimes hardly distinguishable. The aperture of the last chamber becomes more irregular shaped and slit like and is bordered by a thin, irregularly edged flange. In specimens with a poorly developed cortex the penultimate and particularly the antepenultimate chambers form a small number of blunt spine like extensions pointing inwards around the umbilical rim. With progressive cortex building these spines coalesce and become flanges. The last whorl usually consists of 3 to 4 chambers, occasionally a small abortive sacculiferid chamber may be added. In the 3-chambered specimens a trend develops to increase the test size and to form a comparatively large and rounded end chamber with virtually no sutural incisions left between the individual chambers. These forms eventually lead to S. sphaeroides, which in turn gives rise to Sphaeroidinella within the Early Pliocene
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: Between three and four chambers in the final whorl are distinguishable through the cortex. The cortex is complete. The aperture is umbilical and irregular in shape. In umbilical view, specimens with only three chambers in the final whorl appear triangular in outline. Similar species: Sphaeroidinellopsis seminulina is more lobate than S. paenedehiscens, but it is not as lobate as 5. kochii. S. kochii often has more chambers, and the aperture tends to be much larger than S. seminulina. Juveniles that have not yet developed a cortex may resemble Globigerinoides sacculifer.
