Berggrenia pumilio
Life: B. pumilio is a non-spinose planktic foraminifera. Depth habitat is unknown. This species is rare in the modern ocean and found in temperate waters.
Distinguishing features: Species has a small low trochospiral shell and 4.5 - 6 chambers in the final whorl and has a distinct final chamber over the umbilicus that is flask-shaped or kummerform. The aperture is umbilical-extraumbilical, narrow, and deep. The test surface has radial striations and pores concentrated along the sutures on the spiral side. Typical adult size <150 microns.
Other names: Globorotalia pumilio
