Extra details from original publication
This is an important key species of Upper Bortonian to Kaiatan time, its ubiquitous nature and constancy within that range and easy determination increasing its usefulness. It is the only Globigerinoides in the New Zealand early Tertiary and, though abundant in the Lower Ototaran Oamaru limestones and Kaiata beds, has vanished completely from the overlying Whaingaroan, where Globigerina angipora Stache is quite dominant and equally abundant. It is not to be confused with a small subspherical Globorotalia (aff. dehiscens Chapman, Parr and Collins), which ranges through Bortonian.
