Original Description "Test a truncated cone. There are two whorls. Dorsal side flat except in the slightly raised central portion occupied by the first whorl; ventral side strongly convex, sloping toward the dorsal side at an angle of about 50 to 60 degrees. Umbilicus open, deep, not very broad for Globorotalia. Periphery broadly lobate, acute, not keeled. The final whorl usually consists of five chambers which are alate on the dorsal side and triangular on the ventral side. Each chamber of the first whorl is approximately one-half the size of the corresponding chamber of the second whorl. The chambers increase very slowly in size within each whorl, so that each pair of adjacent chambers seems to be equal. One of the characteristic features is the uniform thickness (the dorsoventral elongation), due to which their umbilical ends are almost in the same plane. The chambers adhere closely to one another. Septal sutures on the dorsal side simple, arcuately curved, depressed; on the ventral side, they diverge radially from the umbilicus to the periphery, in the form of straight, strongly depressed furrows. Spiral sutures weakly lobate, nearly smooth, depressed, most often indistinct. Aperture slitlike, very weakly curved to nearly straight, extending from the umbilicus to approximately half-way between the umbilicus and the periphery on the ventral side. Wall densely covered with short and relatively thick spines, usually larger on the ventral side than on the dorsal side. Final chamber usually smoother. Spines most distinct at the periphery." Extra details from original publication Изменчивость. Изменчивыразмерыраковины,вчастности толЩина, которая иногда бывает значительно меньше, чем у типичных особей, благодаря более слабому углу наклона вентральной стороны к дорзальной. Иногда наблюдается неравномерный рост камер послед него оборота; у некоторых экземпляров в последнем обороте четыре камеры бывали почти равны между собой, тогда как пятая резко уве личивалась в размерах ho сравнению с ними. Варьирует также число камер; кроме типичных пятикамерных раковин наблюдались четырех камерные, шести- и даже семикамерные. Периферический край иногда становится почти округлым, и в таком случае бывала сглажена фестон- чатость; это по большей части наблюдалось у раковин с большим числом камер в последнем обороте, чем у типичных особей. Швы дорзальной стороны у некоторых экземпляров бывали очень слабо углубленными, так что казались расположенными на одном уровне с поверхностью камер; шиповатость стенки бывала сильно сглажена.
Сравнение с близкими видами и распро- с т р а н е н и е . Ни одного близкого вида, известного в литературе, привести нельзя. Раковины Globorotalia conicotruncata sр. n. встре чаются по преимуществу в самой нижней части фораминиферовых слоев, в зоне датских фораминифер, при чём число экземпляров их постепенно убывает к более верхним слоям зоны; единичные экземп ляры наблюдаются иногда в зоне Globorotalia ex gr. canariensis. Выше зоны Globorotalia ex gr. canariensis этот вид пока не обнаруживался.
