Globigerina (Zeaglobigerina) decoraperta
Catalog entries: Globigerina druryi decoraperta
Type images: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
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]

Phylogenetic relations
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;
