Species Globorotalia (Globoconella) inflata d'Orbigny 1839



Alternative name:
Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test low trochospiral, three to three and one-half subglobular chambers in the final whorl, periphery broadly rounded, chambers more inflated on umbilical side than on spiral side, increasing uniformly in size as added; spiral sutures curved, depressed, on umbilical side almost radial, depressed; surface covered with low, rounded tubercles and smooth, thick cortex as in Pulleniatina; umbilicus narrow; aperture wide, high arch, interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical with an indistinct rim.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Gr. (G.) inflata is distinguished from Gr. (G.)puncticulata by usually having three to three and one-half chambers in the final whorl, greater test inflation, a broadly rounded periphery, and a large, high-arched aperture.
