Trilobatus trilobus
Life: T. trilobus is a morphotype of an extant (living) spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at ~22 Ma in the Miocene (Zone M1). T. trilobus is very abundant in the tropics and is present but less abundant in temperate waters. Distinguishing features: T. trilobus is thought to be a test morphotype of the same species that produce sacculifer, quadrilobatus, immaturus tests (André et al., 2013). See T. sacculifer page. Other names: Globigerina triloba, Globigerinoides trilobus bullatus More information: mikrotax; André et al., 2013; Spezzaferri et al., 2018 |
Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned Miocene aged T. trilobus specimens. Specimen 1 was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 872_C_7H_5 105-107cm in the western equatorial Pacific, and specimen 2 was obtained from ODP core 1264B-21H-1 27-30cm on the Walvis Ridge of the southeast Atlantic. The specimens were 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 can be manipulate online.
