Current identification:
Todd questioned the generic assignment to Globigerina due to the smooth wall. This form has not been utilized by Oligocene workers and no consensus was reached within the Working Group regarding its affinity, which to date is restricted to the type sample. There is a resemblance to Tenuitella gemma (Jenkins), however, this form has a different rate of chamber size increase. Possibly a benthic form. [Berggren & Wade 2018]
