Catalog entries: Globigerina;
Type images:Distinguishing features: Low trochospirally enrolled, globose test; 3-5, globular chambers in final whorl. Aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, a high arch bordered by a thin rim-like lip or thick imperforate lip. Wall spinose; spines supported by spine collars which coalesce to form ridges.
NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
Diagnostic characters: Low trochospirally enrolled, globose test, with 3-5 rapidly inflating, globular chambers in ultimate whorl. Aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, a high arch bordered by a thin rim-like lip or thick imperforate lip. Umbilicus varies from small and restricted to large and open. Wall spinose; spines are supported by spine collars which coalesce to form ridges.
[Olsson et al. 2006]
Phylogenetic relations: The origin of Globigerina is uncertain. In wall texture it appears closest to Subbotina roesnaesensis n. sp., which has a ruber-type cancellate wall texture with spine collars (first observed in its ancestral species Subbotina triangularis in Zone P4).
