Species Sphaeroidinella grimsdalei Keijzer 1945

Discussion / Comments:

Bolli (1957):
Sphaeroidinella grimsdalei is rather variable in size and in number of chambers comprising the final whorl. Stratigraphically early specimens are usually small with 3 chambers in the last whorl. During the course of evolution, the tests tend to become larger and the last whorl may consist of 3 and 4, occasionally even 5 or 6, chambers. Sphaeroidinella rutschi Cushman and Renz probably branched off from Sphaeroidinella grimsdalei. An apparently transitional form is shown on plate 26, figures 13a, b (USNM P5646).
