Original Description Test trochospiral with subrounded compact periphery; early whorls obscured by the last whorl which is composed of 4 to 4½ subspherical chambers gradually increasing in size; occasionally a diminutive last chamber is present. The aperture is small umbilical-extraumbilical, generally obscured by a wide apertural flap or lip. The wall is thick, perforate; the sutures are radial and narrow. The coiling direction of G. occlusa is predominantly sinistral in unit I sediments; the percentage of right-coiling specimens is highest in the foraminifera-poor sediments of unit II (Fig. 12). Size: The average length of this species is 0.32 mm and its width is 0.26 mm. Etymology: Extra details from original publication The new species differs from G. pachyderma by the elongate last chamber, position of aperture, and its wider lip.
Distribution: G. occlusa is common in late Cenozoic Arctic Ocean sediments (in units I, II, and III; Fig. 14), particularly in the foraminifera-rich zones of unit I. Editors' Notes This is a junior homonym of Globigerina praebulloides occlusa Blow & Banner, 1962. Herman 1980 introduced the substitute name Globigerina cryophila.
