Species Globorotalia bolivariana Petters 1954


Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
Globorotalia bolivariana (Petters), originally described as subspecies of Globigerina wilsoni Cole, displays a distinctly interiomarginal, umbilical extraumbilical aperture; the very narrow slit often extends towards the spiral side. The species differs from the Globorotalia opima Bolli in being more involute (chambers of the earlier whorls are almost invisible) and in being almost planispiral. G. bolivariana is restricted to the middle Eocene while G. opima ranges from the uppermost middle Eocene to the Oligocene.
