Globoturborotalia woodi

A Spinose Planktic Foraminifera - Miocene Age
Picture
Globoturborotalia woodi
Life: G. woodi is an extinct spinose planktic foraminifera with a first occurrence at ~30 Ma in the Oligocene (Zone O3) and a last occurrence at ~17 Ma in the Miocene (Zone M4). It was present in transitional to temperate waters and very common in Australia and New Zealand.
Distinguishing features: G. woodi has 4 - 4.5 chambers in the final whorl, large ruber/saculifer-type pores, and a single large open umbilical aperture. Chambers symmetrically arranged around the umbilicus, with a large symmetrical, rounded umbilical aperture. 
Other names: Globigerina woodi

Downloadable Data:
There is 1 scanned C. woodi shells. The scanned specimen was obtained from Miocene-age sediments from ODP core 1264B-23H-4 67-72cm on the Walvis ridge of the southeast Atlantic. 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.
