Globigerinita glutinata

A Non-Spinose Planktic Foraminifera
Picture
Globigerinita glutinata
Life: G. glutinata is a non-spinose surface to deeper-dwelling planktic foraminifera with high genetic diversity (Morard et al., 2019) and a wide geographic range. It is abundant in tropical to cold waters of the modern ocean.
Distinguishing features: G. glutinata has a microperforate texture, featuring a medium trochospiral test and 4 globular chambers in the final whorl. The species has an umbilical aperture, often with a bulla. Typical adult size >250 microns.
Other names: 
Globigerina glutinata

More information: mikrotax; foraminifera.eu; Morard et al., 2019; Brummer & Kucera, 2022

Downloadable Data
Specimen 1, 2, and 3 are G. glutinata shells from a shallow core on the Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific. Specimens 4 and 5 was obtained from a plankton tow near Green Island, Taiwan and was still full of cytoplasm at the time of collection.
