Globigerinita uvula

A Non-Spinose Planktic Foraminifera
Picture
Globigerinita uvula
Life: G. uvula is a non-spinose species that is abundant in cold (temperate to subpolar) waters of the modern ocean. There is evidence that this species is capable of asexual reproduction (Takagi et al., 2020). 
Distinguishing factors: G. uvula is a microperforate species with a high trochospiral lobate shell, 3-4 chambers in the final whorl, and a narrow umbilical aperture with a thin lip. Typical adult size <150 microns.
Other names: Globigerinita bradyi

More information: mikrotax; foraminifera.eu; Takagi et al., 2020; Brummer & Kucera, 2022

Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned G. uvula shells from a core in the northeast Pacific off of the Oregon coast (W8709A-13AC).

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. Photographs are not available for this specimen.
