Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globoturborotalita): Trochospiral test with a single, large, open umbilical aperture. Cancellate wall. 4-4½ chambers in final whorl
This taxon: Small, compact test, with coarse-pitted surface, and small, rimmed, aperture

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, compact, trochospiral, chambers subglobular, increasing uniformly in size as added, four in the final whorl; sutures radial, depressed; surface coarsely pitted; initial whorls indistinct due to the thickening of the test wall; aperture a small, low arch bordered by a distinct rim. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Wall type:
Spinose; Hispid [Aze 2011]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution

A tropical to warm-subtropical species. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983] Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]

[SCOR WG138]


Isotope paleobiology
Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 1 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, with symbionts; based on comparison with other species of the genus.

Phylogenetic relations

The small, compact test, coarse- pitted surface, and small rimmed aperture serve to distinguish this species from others of the subgenus Zeaglobigerina. Gg. (Zg.) druryi evolved from Gg. (Zg.) woodi during the Early Miocene Zone N7 and developed into Gg. (Zg.) nepenthes by further elongation of the final chamber. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Most likely ancestor: Globoturborotalita woodi - at confidence level 2 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan (1983), however, Aze et al. suggest origin from Globigerina eamesi .
Likely descendants: Globoturborotalita nepenthes; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
