Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Similar species: Globorotalia cibaoensis is a variable taxon, particularly
in its peripheral outline. It ranges from biconvex to nearly planoconvex, with
the spiral side being nearly flat and in extreme cases slightly concave. The
planoconvex forms tend to have five chambers, rather than four to four and a
half, and resemble G. crassula in possessing an angular, keel-like final
chamber. G. juanai has more inflated chambers on the umbilical side and a
more rounded periphery. G. margaritae differs from G. cibaoensis in being
concavo-convex (i.e., convex ventral side) and in possessing a thin keel. Also
see Globorotalia scitula. |
