10-12) shows a diameter of 0.35 mm. Blow (1979) also described forms with more closely appressed chambersand abortively developed final chambers (as Eoglobigerina cf. trivialis) and forms with a turreted, high-spired umbilical side (as Eoglobigerina aff. trivialis). We include these morphotypes here in the concept of trivialis, as they do not appear to have any significant numerical representation or stratigraphic continuity in occurrence. [Olsson et al. 1999]
Catalog entries: Globigerina trivialis
Type images:Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Subbotina): Low trochospiral, tripartite test, with 3-4 rapidly inflating, globular chambers in final whorl.
Umbilicus nearly closed by tight coiling.
Wall cancellate with spines at nodes of the ridges, +/- spine collars.
This taxon: Test small (<250µm) low trochospiral, tightly coiled with 3½ chambers in final whorl Aperture umbilical with a thin lip. The ultimate chamber is equal to, or slightly smaller than the penultimate one. The wall is weakly cancellate and spinose. The spines are set at the junctures of the cancellate ridges. The umbilicus is small and nearly closed by the tight coiling.
