Taxonomy
Blowiella Krechmar and Gorbachik [according to Verga & Premoli Silva 2003]
Original description: Test planispiral, in the early stages similar to Globigerinella, in the adult becoming somewhat loosely coiled, the earlier coils all visible in side view; chambers globular in the earlier stages, in the adult with lateral prolongations reaching to and slightly over the preceding coil; wall calcareous, perforate; aperture at the base of the last-formed chamber in the median line.- Upper Cretaceous.
Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Globigerinelloides
Distinguishing features: Test planispirally enrolled, biumbilicate, involute to evolute, lobulate in outline, chambers globular to somewhat elongate in partially evolute species, sutures depressed; wall calcareous, perforate, optically radial; aperture equatorial and interiomarginal, bordered by a narrow imperforate lip, broad and low to moderately arched, the lateral portions remaining open as relict supplementary apertures around the umbilicus when new chambers are added.
Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): within Maastrichtian Stage (66.04-72.05Ma, top in Maastrichtian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Valanginian Stage (133.88-139.39Ma, base in Valanginian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
Plot of occurrence data:
Dec 2017 - Plotting of Neptune data has been re-enabled on the Mesozoic pages following revision of the age-models in Neptune. The data is, however, still very sparse for the Early Cretaceous
