Species Globanomalina planoconica Subbotina 1953



Discussion / Comments:
Pearson et al. (2006):
DISCUSSION.- Blow (1979) regarded Globorotalia pseudochapmani Gohrbandt, described from the lower Eocene of Austria, as a junior synonym of Globanomalina planoconica. Blow's illustrations of G. planoconica from an Atlantic Ocean piston core match Gohrbandt's illustrations of the holotype and paratype of his species, which show an additional chamber in the ultimate whorl and a broader apertural lip than the holotype. Blow regarded his and Gohrbandt's specimens as advanced morphotypes of planoconica. Additional study may or may not show the validity of Gohrbandt's species, but for the sake of taxonomic stability we follow Blow's concept of planoconica. See the Atlas of Paleocene Planktonic Foraminifera (Olsson and others, 1999) for further discussion of this species. STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE.- Zone P4c to Zone E6.
