Ciperoella angulisuturalis
Life: C. angulisuturalis is an extinct spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at 30 Ma in the Oligocene (Zone O4) and a last occurrence at ~22 Ma in the Miocene (Zone M2). It was widespread in warm to temperate waters and rare or absent in high productivity regions. Distinguishing features: C. angulisuturalis has 4.5 - 5 'squared-off'/'wedge-shaped' chambers in the final whorl, typical spinose pores, distinctly depressed sutures, and a large umbilical aperture. Typical adult size >250 microns. More information: mikrotax; gbif |
Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned C. angulisuturalis shells. The scanned specimen was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 1264B-27H-7 60-64cm on the Walvis ridge of the southeast Atlantic. This specimen was donated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (thanks to Bärbel Hönisch and Lloyd Anderson).
Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (.nc files) that can be imported into your favorite 3D data processing software program (we use imageJ). The .STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing. Each foram also has a 3D model that you can manipulate online.
