Globoturborotalita pseudopraebulloides
Life: G. pseudopraebulloides is an extinct spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at ~31 Ma in the Oligocene (Zone O2) and a last occurrence at ~15 Ma in the Miocene (Zone M6). It was widespread in tropical to temperate waters, and occurred in the high latitude North Atlantic Ocean during the lower Oligocene. Distinguishing features: G. pseudopraebulloides has 4 - 4.5 chambers in the final whorl, large ruber/saculifer-type pores, and a single large open umbilical aperture. This species has 4 rapidly enlarging open lobate chambers in the final whorl, large open umbilicus, and high umbilical aperture. Other names: Globigerina praebulloides More information: mikrotax |
Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned G. pseudopraebulloides shells. The scanned specimen was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 1264B-25H-3 6-10cm 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 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.
