Original Description

Shape of thest low, trochospiral, biconvex. The equatorial periphery elongate, distinctly lobate. Axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface smooth. Chambers inflated globular to slightly compressed, about tweleve, arranged in two and one-half whorls, the four or five chambers in the last whorl increasing rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side radial or slightly oblique, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus fairly wide, open. Apertures distinct arches, interiomarginal, umbilical; in some specimens the aperture of the last chamber tends to become extraumbilical-umbilica in position. Coiling in two-thirds of the specimens counted in the Globorotalia aragonensis zone sinistral.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.40 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks: Globigerina prolata Bolli, new species, probably branched off from G. collactea Finlay in the Globorotalia rex zone. It became fairly common in the Globorotalia formosa formosa and Globorotalia aragonensis zones. Bronnimann (1952) figured and described this
species as Globigerina pseudobulloides Plummer. Because of the interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical position of its apertures, pseudobulloides is now placed in Globorotalia. Globigerina prolata differs from Globorotalia pseudobulloides in the umbilical position of the
apertures, absence of a flaring lip in the last chamber, and more trochospiral arrangement of the chambers.
Also it has a distinctly different stratigraphic range. Globorotalia pseudobulloides is restricted to the Paleocene (Globorotalia trinidadensis to the Globorotalia pusilla pusilla zones) and Globigerina prolata to the lower Eocene (Globorotalia rex to the Globorotalia aragonensis zones).
