A Spinose Planktic Foraminifera
Picture
Globigerina falconensis 
​Life: G. falconensis is a spinose shallow dweller. This species is common in temperate waters of the modern ocean.
Distinguishing features: G. falconensis is a spinose planktic foraminifera with 4 chambers in the final whorl. It is distinguished from G. bulloides by the slightly smaller test, elongate aperture, and presence of an apertural lip. Typical adult size >150 microns.

More information: mikrotax; Brummer & Kucera, 2022

Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned G. falconensis shells. These are fossil specimens from a shallow core on the Ontong Java Plateau.

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.
