Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globoturborotalita): Trochospiral test with a single, large, open umbilical aperture. Cancellate wall. 4-4½ chambers in final whorl
This taxon: Like G. woodi but higher-spired test

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 compact, low to medium- high trochospiral, equatorial periphery lobu- late, chambers spherical to subspherical, four in the final whorl, increasing uniformly in size as added; sutures on spiral and umbilical side almost radial and depressed; umbilicus wide and deep; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, large semicircular, bordered by a rim. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]


Wall type:
Spinose; Cancellate [Aze 2011]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution

Tropical to subtropical. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983] Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]

[SCOR WG138]


Isotope paleobiology
Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 2 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, without symbionts; based on comparison with other species of the genus.

Phylogenetic relations
Gg. (Zg.) decoraperta is distinguished from Gg. (Zg.) woodi by its higher-spired test and from Gg. (Zg.) rubescens mainly by its larger test, slightly smaller aperture, and less coarsely cancellate surface.
Gg. (Zg.) decoraperta appears to have evolved from Gg. (Zg.) woodi during the early Middle Miocene (Orbulina suturalis Zone) in cool subtropical waters and may have given rise to Gg. (Zg.) rubescens during the Middle Pliocene. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Most likely ancestor: Globoturborotalita woodi - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig.8; Aze et al. 2011.
Likely descendants: Globoturborotalita rubescens; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): in mid part of PL5 [Atl.] zone (51% up, 2.8Ma, in Piacenzian stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).
First occurrence (base): near base of M11 zone (13% up, 11.5Ma, in Tortonian stage). Data source: Wade et al. (2011), additional event; position within zone determined by linear interpolation from data in table 1 of Wade et al. (2011).
