Species Globigerina euapertura Jenkins 1960

Discussion / Comments:

Jenkins (1985):
G. euapertura is limited to the Oligocene; its low arched aperture and tightly coiled test distinguish it from G. ampliapertura which has a higher arched and more oblong shaped aperture. Within its Early Oligocene stratigraphic range G. euapertura differs from G. brevis, which has a more compact test with deep sutures. In the upper part of its range in the Late Oligocene it is distinguished from G. woodi, G. brazieri and G. labiacrassata in possessing a much lower aperture.
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. All specimens of Globigerina with three to four appressed chambers in the final whorl, when not referable to any other species, were lumped under G. euapertura. More commonly than not, the final chamber is aberrant, commonly rendering it hard to distinguish from Catapsydrax. Our use of this "species" as a "waste basket" only partly explains its extreme abundance (up to 90%).
