Species Globoquadrina conglomerata Schwager 1866


Discussion / Comments:
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: Globoquadrina conglomerata is a large to very large species with a large, open umbilical aperture surmounted by a triangular tooth on the final chamber. The test is distinctly cancellate. Seen in edge view, the chambers can be spherical or slightly laterally compressed. The variation in chamber shape shows no monotonic stratigraphic trend. There are three and half to four chambers in the final whorl. Thompson and Sciarrillo (1978) consider G. conglomerata and G. pseudofoliata to be descendants of G. venezuelana. Kennett and Srinivasan (1983) think that G. venezuelana and G. baroemoenensis are unrelated and that the latter species is synonomous with G. conglomerata. In Hole 806B, a morphological cline exists among all four species. G. conglomerata and G. pseudofoliata are sufficiently similar morphologically and mixed stratigraphically to be considered synonymous. Similar species: Evolution from G. venezuelana involved inflation of the chambers, a widening of the umbilicus, and broadening of the base of the umbilical tooth (Parker, 1967; Thompson and Sciarrillo, 1978). Some specimens retain the tendencies of G. venezuelana toward axially elongate chambers and an irregular final chamber, but they always have a more open umbilicus. The ventral sides of chambers of G. conglomerata tend to be more inflated than those of G. baroemoenensis.
