Globoturborotalia brazieri

A Spinose Planktic Foraminifera - Miocene Age
Picture
Globoturborotalia brazieri
Life: G. brazieri is an extinct spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at ~30 Ma in the Oligocene (Zone O3) and a last occurrence at ~17 Ma in the Miocene (Zone M4). It was common in warm subtropical to temperate waters and very common in Australia, New Zealand, and the Tasman Sea.
Distinguishing features: G. brazieri has 4-4.5 chambers in the final whorl, large ruber/saculifer-type pores, and a single large open umbilical aperture. Test shape is subquadrate and trochospiral, and the aperture is placed directly opposite to the suture line. 
Other names: Globigerina brazieri
​
More information: mikrotax

Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned C. angulisuturalis shells. The scanned specimen was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 1264B-21H-3 126-130cm 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 (TIF 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.
