Globoquadrina conglomerata


Classification: pf_cenozoic -> Globigerinidae -> Globoquadrina -> Globoquadrina conglomerata
Sister taxa: G. conglomerata, G. dehiscens, G. sp.

Taxonomy

Citation: Globoquadrina conglomerata (Schwager, 1866)
Rank: species
Basionym: Globigerina conglomerata Schwager, 1866
Synonyms:
Taxonomic discussion: This is a problematic taxon and according to Wade et al. (2018) it should be reclassified into Dentoglobigerina. This is not followed here directly since the working group on extant planktonic foraminifera have not adopted this reccomendation (Brummer & Kucera 2015, 2022). As discussed in Brummer & Kucera (2022) G. conglomerata is non-spinose and falls outside the spinose clade in molecular genetic trees, which makes placement within the spinose genus Dentoglobigerina problematic.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globoquadrina): Trochospiral with quadrate to subquadrate profile; aperture in interiomarginal / umbilical-extraumbilical, one or more tooth-like projections extending into the umbilicus.
This taxon: Low trochospiral test, equatorial periphery slightly lobate; aperture interiomarginal umbilical low arch with umbilical teeth

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.
