Species Globigerinella praesiphonifera Blow 1969 |
|
|
Diagnosis / Definition: |
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test low trochospiral, equatorial periphery lobulate; axial periphery broadly rounded; chambers inflated, subglobular, well separated from one another, five slowly enlarging chambers in the final whorl; sutures strongly curved, depressed; surface finely hispid, spinose with circular spine bases; umbilicus narrow, deep; aperture interiomarginal,
umbilical-extraumbilical, without a lip or rim. |
Discussion / Comments: |
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Ge. praesiphonifera differs from Ge. aequilateralis in that the trochospiral coil is maintained throughout and that the
tendency toward planispirality is confined to the final whorl. This species is distinguished from Ge. obesa by an additional chamber in the final whorl and more lobulate periphery. |
