Citation: Globorotaliidae Blow 1979Taxonomic rank: familyTaxonomic discussion: This family was not used in the Oligocene Altas (Wade et al. 2018) but is used by the SCOR Working Group on modern planktonic foraminifera (Brummer & Kucera 2014, 2015) and is a distinct clade in the phylogeny of Aze et al. 2011.
Distinguishing features: Parent taxon (pf_cenozoic): This is a polyphyletic grouping including all Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera This taxon: Macroperforate, non-spinose
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
Biogeography and Palaeobiology
Most likely ancestor:Globigerinidae - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: The ancestor of Globorotalia is thought to be Paragloborotalia.
Biostratigraphic distribution
Geological Range: Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database First occurrence (base): within N4b zone (22.20-23.50Ma, base in Chattian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of species in this database
Plot of occurrence data:
Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: this is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. For the customisable plot option go to a genus page Parent: pf_cenozoic

Should be Globorotaliidae.
Corrected - thanks, Jeremy
