Globigerinoides ruber
Life: G. ruber is a surface dwelling symbiont bearing spinose foraminifera. This species is abundant and globally distributed. Color variants are G. ruber pink (thought to be only present in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean) and G. ruber white (globally distributed). Distinguishing features: Species have a trochospiral shell and a large umbilical aperture. It has 3 chambers in the final whorl, with 2 chambers symmetrically placed above a suture, and typically has secondary apertures on the umbilical side. Shell surface texture is that of ruber/sacculifer-type spinose texture. Typical adult size >250 microns. More information: mikrotax; Morard et al., 2019 |
Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned G. ruber shells. Specimen 1 is from a plankton tow collected near Newport, Oregon in October 2019. Specimen 2 is from the core-top of an Ontong Java Plateau core.
Note: Data 'stacks' are not available for these specimens. The STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing.
