Short diagnosis: Four chambers & radially compressed

NB The short diagnoses are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus. They have initially been copied from the diagnostic
characters/distinguishing features sections of the Eocene and Paleocene Atlases, they will be edited as the site is developed.

Description

Diagnostic characters: Tightly coiled trochospiral, subglobular to subquadrate

Aperture:
: Primary aperture interiomarginal umbilicallong low asymmetric arch with thin rim. Supplementary sutural apertures on spiral side [Aze 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan
1983]

Coiling direction (in extant population): mixed

Wall type: Spinose; Cancellate [Aze 2011]

Test morphology: Test large, tightly coiled, trocho- spiral, subglobular to subquadrate, three to three and a half chambers in the final whorl increasing very slowly in size as added;
sutures distinctly depressed , almost radial; surface coarsely perforated with spines and spine bases; umbilius narrow; primary aperture interiomarginal, umbilical , a long, low asymmetric
arch bordered by a thin rim; sutural supplementary apertures, small, irregular on the spiral side. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Size: >250m

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Geographic distribution: Tropical to warm subtropical. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Isotope paleobiology: Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 1 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, with symbionts. Based on very heavy 13C and relatively light 18O Cited sources (Aze
et al. 2011 appendix S3): Keller (1985)

Phylogenetic relations: Gs. conglobatus is distinguished by its thick-walled and tightly coiled test. Specimens representing an evolutionary and morphologic transition between Gs.
extremus Gs. conglobatus
and resemble Gs. conglobatus canimarensis
Bermudez. We concur with Parker (1973) and Stainforth et al. (1975) in treating Gs. canimarensis
as a synonym of
Gs. conglobatus.
Following Mistretta (1962), Globigerinoides gomitulus
(Seguenza, 1880) with a smaller and compact test than Gs. conglobatus is considered a junior synonym of Gs.

Molecular Genotypes recognised (data from PFR2 database, June 2017), one genotype only from 25 sequences. References: Darling et al. 1997; Ujii & Lipps 2009;

Most likely ancestor: Globigerinoides extremus - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig. 9.
Biostratigraphic distribution
Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: present in the plankton (SCOR WG138)
First occurrence (base): in upper part of M13b subzone (84% up, 6.5Ma, in Tortonian stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by
linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
