Extra details from original publication
Occurrence: This species is generally found, as a rare form in all horizons from the base of the Velasco up into the the middle portion of that formation.
The species is a transitional form from Globigerina to Globorotalia, differing from G. crassaformis in having a sharply angled periphery.
Most species of Globigerina show innumerable transition stages from one species to another. The more carefully these variations are observed the closer the correlations which may be made. Identification with literature is difficult, as most fossil species have been erroneously compared with Recent forms.
