Species Globorotalia (Turborotalia) continuosa Blow 1959



Alternative name:
Globorotalia continuosa Blow 1959
Discussion / Comments:
Quilty (1976):
Remarks: The single specimen found in 319-2-4, 59-60 cm, probably is actually part of G. acostaensis acostaensis if Blow (1969) is correct in stating that G. continuosa does not extend younger than N16 and if G. a. acostensis evolves from G. continuosa. The specimen figured from 319-5-5, 90-92 cm has a well-developed cord-like rim to the aperture and thus perhaps should not be referred to G. continuosa. However, it seems to be the same form that Jenkins and Orr (1972) referred to the same species.
