Original Description
Test trochospiral with subrounded compact periphery; early whorls obscured by the last whorl which is composed of 4 to 4½ subspherical chambers gradually increasing in size; occasionally a diminutive last chamber is present. The aperture is small umbilical-extraumbilical, generally obscured by a wide apertural flap or lip. The wall is thick, perforate; the sutures are radial and narrow.
The coiling direction of G. occlusa is predominantly sinistral in unit I sediments; the percentage of right-coiling specimens is highest in the foraminifera-poor sediments of unit II (Fig. 12).
Size: The average length of this species is 0.32 mm and its width is 0.26 mm.
Extra details from original publication
The new species differs from G. pachyderma by the elongate last chamber, position of aperture, and its wider lip.
Distribution: G. occlusa is common in late Cenozoic Arctic Ocean sediments (in units I, II, and III; Fig. 14), particularly in the foraminifera-rich zones of unit I.
