Globigerinoides ruber
Life: G. ruber is an extant (living) spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at ~11 Ma in the Miocene (Zone N14). The pink form first appears in the fossil record at ~0.75 Ma and is thought to be absent or rare from the fossil record in the Indian and the Pacific Ocean at ~0.12 Ma. Distinguishing features: See G. ruber page. Other names: G. ruber albus and G. ruber ruber More information: mikrotax; Thompson et al., 1979; Chaisson and Pearson, 1997 |
Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned Miocene aged G. ruber shell. The scanned specimen was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 872_C_7H_5 105-107cm in the western equatorial Pacific. 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.
