Globigerinoides elongatus

A Spinose Planktic Foraminifera
Picture
Globigerinoides elongatus
​Life: G. elongatus is a spinose shallow dweller symbiont bearing species that is abundant in warm and temperate waters.
Distinguishing features: G. elongatus has supplementary apertures and a ruber/sacculifer-type spinose shell surface texture. This species is distinguishable from G. ruber by an asymmetrically flattened final chamber. See Aurahs et al., 2011. Typical adult size >250 microns.

More information: mikrotax; Aurahs et al., 2011; Brummer & Kucera, 2022
Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned G. elongatus shells. 

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.
