Phylogenetic relations
NB These genotypes were previously classified as G. ruber IIa, but were reclassified as G. elongatus by Aurahs et al. (2011), they also suggest it is most likely to have evolved from G. extremus.
Most likely ancestor: Globigerinoides conglobatus - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Morard et al. (2019) - based on mol gen data. NB Aurahs et al. (2011) suggested origin from G. extremus..
Likely descendants: Globigerinoides tenellus;

Notes: Rarely separated in the fossil record, but Aurahs et al. (2011) estimated a divergence age of 1.2-4.6Ma from molecular clock approach
Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: present in the plankton (SCOR WG138)
First occurrence (base): within Pliocene Epoch (2.59-5.33Ma, base in Zanclean stage). Data source: Perconig 1969, Aurahs et al. 2011
