Species Praeorbulina transitoria Blow 1956


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test low trochospiral, bilobate, chambers spherical, penultimate and ultimate chambers almost equal in size, embracing in early chambers; sutures on spiral side slightly curved to radial, depressed; surface distinctly cancellate; apertures multiple, narrow, small slits confined to last sutures of the final and earlier chambers.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Pr. transitoria has an intermediate morphology linking its ancestor Gs. sicanus and its descendant 0. bilobata.
Bolli & Saunders (1985):
The presence of more than 2 apertures betwen the last chamber and earlier ones places this species in the genus Praeorbulina. It differs from G. bisphericus in being more symmetrically bilobate with the penultimate chamber occupying proportionally more of the test; morphologically intermediate forms can be found.
