Species Globigerina venezuelana Hedberg 1937


Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
Considerable variation in size and shape of chambers is found in Globigerina venezuelana. The differences, however, appear not to be constant enough to allow a further division of the species. It is found for instance that the chambers of G. venezuelana are generally more spherical in the Globorotalia opima opima zone to the Globorotalia kugleri zone and again in the Globorotalia fohsi lobata zone to the Globorotalia menardii zone. In the Catapsydrax dissimilis zone to the Globorotalia fohsi fohsi zone the specimens are often somewhat compressed laterally. The same is also true for the Globigerina ampliapertura zone, where many specimens have only 3 chambers in the last whorl instead of the usual 4. A small, rudimentary final chamber (see pl. 23, figs. 7b, 8b) commonly occurs in Globigerina venezuelana. It is attached in the conventional way and does not cover the umbilicus and therefore can not be regarded as a bulla.
Quilty (1976):
Remarks: The specimens recorded in the Pleistocene of DWBP 134, 100-102 cm are genuine members of this species and distinct from G. conglomerata. This seems to be the youngest true record of this species.
