Original Description

"Usually seven to eight fairly lobate (especially the last one) chambers, which become shorter in the adult stages. They are strongly protruding and slightly inflated on the ventral side, where the sutural elevations disappear here and there in the sutural depressions, however, with the bourrelet umbilical generally present. The sutures are more conspicuously beaded than in Globotrucana rosetta rosetta (Carsey) (Globigerina rosetta, 1926). Fairly arched lips are present in the umbilical cavity.

Size:
Dimensions of holotype: Width 0.99 mm.; thickness 0.33 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks.—Glt. aff. conica Reichel, 1949 (p. 614, fig. 7b) is closely related, but differs by its more outstanding dorsal convexity and slightly conical umbilical side with fairly evident sutural elevations. Rotalia elevata Brotzen also shows a strongly protruding umbilical side, as well as many chambers in the last whorl (six-nine); the specimen illustrated has, however, only six chambers, its chambers are inflated on the ventral side with radial, depressed sutures, without any trace of raised sutures. Probably this form is a more evolved rosetta type somewhat related to Glt. seranensis.
