Extra details from original publication
smaller and in having 4 chambers in the final whorl: Globorotalia pseudomenardii Bolli, Globorotalia pseudoscitula Glaessner, Globorotalia planoconica Subbotina, Globorotalia haunsbergensis Gohrbrandt, Globorotalia elongata Glaessner, Globorotalia ebrenbergi Bolli, and Globorotalia chapmani Parr.
In the Middle Waipara River section (Wilson, 1963) and in the Te Uri Stream section, G. australiformis replaces Globorotalia pseudomenardii Bolli in the lower part of the Waipawan Stage.
Although the coiling of the G. australiformis specimens in the type sample is 48 dextral and 38 sinistral, within its stratigraphic range G.
austraiiformis does not show strong preference to a particular coiling direction.
The specific name is taken from the Latin word australis meaning southern.
