Globigerinoides tenellus
Life: G. tenellus is a surface dwelling symbiont bearing spinose foraminifera. This species is common in warm waters of the modern ocean. This species was thought to be related to Globoturborotalita rubescens, but is now thought to be more genetically related to Globigerinoides species (see Morard et al., 2019). Distinguishing features: This species has a small, low trochospiral shell and a large almost circular umbilical aperture. It has 4 chambers in the final whorl. It is distinguishable from G. rubescens by a small, supplementary aperture. Shell surface texture is that of ruber/sacculifer-type spinose texture. Typical adult size <150 microns. Other names: Globoturborotalita tenellus; Globoturborotalita tenella More information: mikrotax; Morard et al., 2019 |
