Species Globigerinoides tenellus Parker 1958


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test small, low trochospire, chambers spherical, four in the final whorl, rapidly increasing in size as added; sutures curved and depressed; surface distinctly cancellate with pores set in polygonal pore pits; primary aperture umbilical large, almost circular in outline, with a distinct rim; single small, supplementary aperture on spiral side at intersection of spiral and intercameral sutures.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Gs. tenellus is similar to Globigerina (Zeaglobigerina) rubescens in all respects except for the development of a small, supplementary aperture. This species evolved from Gg. (Zg.) rubescens in the Late Pliocene.
Bolli & Saunders (1985):
The major features of the species are its small size, strongly lobate equatorial outline, large primary aperture almost circular in outline, small and narrow supplementary apertures on the spiral side of the last chamber, more rarely in earlier chambers, and a wall surface roughened by dense, short spines. The species was first described from the Holocene but is also documented throughout the Pleistocene. In the Mediterranean area it is considered a good marker for this interval (Blow, 1969; Colalongo & Sartoni, 1977).
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: Rare. When Globigerina rubescens develops a secondary aperture, it becomes Globigerinoides tenellus.
