CATALOG OF ORIGINAL DESCRIPTIONS: Globigerinida Lankester 1885
This page provides data from the catalog of type descriptions. The catalog is sorted alphabetically. Use the current identification link to go back to the main database.
Original Description Test free, calcareous, perforate; chambers few, inflated, arranged spirally; aperture single or multiple, conspicuous. No supplementary skeleton nor canal system. All the larger species pelagic in habit. Editors' Notes Orders are outside the family group and so need separate authorship, hence the correct citation is Globigerinida Lankaster 1885. The reference is usually cited as Lankaster (1885) in foraminiferal literature, but the author was Prof. E. R. Lankester of University College London, so he correct spelling is Lankester.
