Current identification/main database link: Globigerinella radians (Egger 1893)
Original Description
Translation from Weiner et al. 2015
The shell is up to 0.35 mm high and 0.27 mm wide, but few shells reach that size while many remain smaller. The very lobate shell is composed of 4–5 loosely arranged chambers in the last whorl, with a distinct radial chamber elongation and a high relative size increase from chamber to chamber. The initial spiral is diffuse, the spinose shell is laterally flattened and evolute. The species is distinguished from G. digitata by rounded instead of pointed tips of the elongated chambers, from G. aequilateralis by the higher trochospirality and the radially elongated chambers, and G. quadrilobata has a more constant chamber size and only four chambers.(Egger, 1983, p. 170).
