Species Heterohelix globulosa Ehrenberg 1840


Discussion / Comments:
Caron (1985):
The globular chambers increase gradually in size, except for the late chambers, which increase more rapidly. Faint costae are present on all chambers.
Huber (1990):
Most forms included in this species resemble the specimen shown on Pl. 1, Fig. 3, which has fine costate ornamentation on all chambers. However, some (e.g., Pl. 1, Fig. 4) have an elongate test with pustulose surface ornament on the earlier chambers, resembling Heterohelix papula Belford, which was described from the Santonian Toolonga Calcilutite in Western Australia (Belford, 1960, 1983), but has not since been reported elsewhere.
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. Intermediate forms with the more compressed H. planata (Cushman, 1938) are common. This species is rare in all Maestrichtian samples, and more common in older samples.
