Species Globigerina falconensis Blow 1959


Alternative name:
Globigerina (Globigerina) falconensis Blow 1959
Discussion / Comments:
Iaccarino (1985):
This species is readily recognizable by its well developed apertural lip which may entirely cover the umbilical area. Through time the lip becomes less thickened and less well developed and, as a result, the umbilicus more open. The result is that specimens from the Pliocene and Late Miocene possess thinner tests and thinner lips and the umbilicus appears wider. On the basis of this trend Blow (1969) distinguished a Globigerina falconensis forma typica for the oldest forms and a forma atypica for the youngest.
Quilty (1976):
A notable feature on the figured specimen is the imperforate area of apertural face immediately above the lip.
