Globorotalia ungulata

A Non-Spinose Planktic Foraminifera
Picture
Globorotalia ungulata
Life: G. ungula is a non-spinose deeper dwelling planktic foraminifera. This species is common in warm (tropical and subtropical) waters of the modern ocean.
Distinguishing features: G. ungulata has a low trochospiral shell with 5 chambers in the final whorl. This species looks similar to G. menardii, but it has a thickening (a keel band) on the crest the final chamber. The crest is readily identifiable in the scan for Specimen 1, where the keel band can be seen as a thickening on the crest of the final chamber.

More information: mikrotax; foraminifera.eu

Downloadable Data:
​
There are 2 scanned G. ungulata shells.

Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF files) 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.
