Life: G. inflata is a non-spinose deeper-dwelling planktic foraminifera that is present in sub-arctic to warm subtropical areas. This species is abundant in the modern ocean in temperate waters. Distinguishing features: G. inflata has 3-3.5 chambers in the final whorl, high test inflation, a broadly rounded periphery, and a large, high-arched aperture. This species often has rounded tubercles and can grow a thick smooth cortex that surrounds the shell. Typical adult specimens >250 microns. More information: mikrotax; Brummer & Kucera, 2022 |
Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned G. inflata shell. This specimen is a fossil from a shallow core on the Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific.
Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF file) 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.
