Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globigerinoides): Supplementary apertures, with ruber/sacculifer-type spinose wall texture
This taxon: Like Gs. bolli but only 3 to 3½ chambers in final whorl (vs. 4), less-embracing chambers, and more subquadrate outline

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

Description


Morphology:
Test small, low spired, spherical to subspherical chambers, three in the final whorl; sutures distinct and incised; umbilicus small, primary aperture centered over the suture between the penultimate and antepenultimate chambers; small, supplementary apertures on the spiral :side at sutural junctions; surface heavily encrusted, but spine bases can be seen on the final chamber, indicating a spinose test (Pl. 10, Fig. 5). [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Wall type:
Spinose; Cancellate [Aze 2011]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Similar species

Gs. kennetti differs from Gs. bollii in having 3 to 3½ chambers instead of 4 in the final whorl, less-embracing chambers, and more subquadrate outline. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Geographic distribution
Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]

[SCOR WG138]

Warm to cool subtropical.

Isotope paleobiology
Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 1 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, with symbionts. Based on very heavy δ13C and relatively light δ18O. Sources cited by Aze et al. 2011 (appendix S3): Keller (1985)

Phylogenetic relations

Close morphological similarities between Gs. kennetti and Gs. bollii suggest that they are closely related. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Most likely ancestor: Globigerinoides bollii - at confidence level 2 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan, fig. 9, p.70; Aze et al. 2011.
