Taxonomy

Citation: Globigerinidae Carpenter, Parker, and Jones, 1862

Rank: Family

Synonyms:

Globoquadrinidae Blow, 1979

Taxonomic discussion:

The family Globoquadrinidae was erected by Blow (1979) to include Globoquadrina and Dentoglobigerina plus other genera (Globorotaloides and Globigerinita, which is now regarded as a microperforate genus) that are no longer believed to be closely related. The critical feature that linked these groups, according to Blow, was a shift in aperture from a more extraumbilical to intraumbilical position during ontogeny, and significant differences in wall textures were not taken into account. Olsson and others (2006a) retained the family but in a very different sense, uniting two genera (Globoquadrina and Dentoglobigerina) that were believed, at that time to be nonspinose, and hence were excluded from the spinose Globigerinidae. These genera are now regarded as spinose or descended from a closely related spinose form (see Pearson and Wade, 2015, and Chapter 11, this volume) hence they are now included in family Globigerinidae. [Coxall & Spezzaferri 2018]

A great variety of species and genera with diverse morphologies evolved from the simple trochospiral globigerine forms in the Paleocene. Only the genera Eoglobigerina, Parasubbotina, and Subbotina are represented in the Paleocene. [Olsson et al. 1999]

Catalog entries: Globigerinidae, Globoquadrinidae

Distinguishing features: Wall spinose, usually with 3½-6 globular chambers in final whorl, trochospiral or planispiral

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

I noticed an imprecision in the description of the genus Globigerinoides. The wall texture must be ruber type or ruber/sacculifer type, instead of bulloides type.

Thank you.

i somehow missed your comment until just now but i have corrected the description now.

thank you Jeremy
