Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (tumida lineage): G. lenguaensis - merotumida - tumida - flexuosa lineage
This taxon: Like G. merotumida but larger, slightly less convex umbilical side, more ovate equatorial profile, and final chamber is higher than wide.

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 lenticular trochospire, biconvex, equatorial periphery ovate, slightly lob- ulate; axial periphery acute with a distinct keel; generally 6 chambers in the final whorl, increasing regularly in size as added, final chamber noticeably projecting; sutures on spiral side limbate , slightly raised, oblique to curved, merging into keel; on umbilical side radial, depressed; surface smooth, densely perforate, pustulate on umbillcal shoulders; umbilicus narrow, aperture a low arch, bordered by a lip, interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Wall type:
Non-spinose; Smooth [Aze 2011]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution

Phylogenetic relations

Gr. (Gr.) plesiotumida is distinguished from Gr. (Gr.) tumida tumida by its smaller size and less tumid test. The evolutionary appearance of Gr. (Gr.) plesiotumida defines the base of Zone N17. This taxon, in turn, evolved into Gr. (Gr.) tumida tumida near the Zone N17-N18 boundary by developing a larger and more tumid test. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Most likely ancestor: Globorotalia merotumida - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig 17;Stewart 2003 fig. 6.10; Aze et al. 2011, appendix 5.
Likely descendants: Globorotalia tumida; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): near base of PL3 [Atl.] zone (12% up, 3.8Ma, in Zanclean stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).
First occurrence (base): at base of M13b subzone (0% up, 8.6Ma, in Tortonian stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), zonal marker
