K_S 1983 15-7.JPGCatalog entries: Globigerinoides kennetti
Type images:_USNM249219_holotype.jpg)
holotype: G. kennetti_USNM 249220, 249221, 249222_paras.jpg)
paratype: G. kennettiDistinguishing features: Like Gs. bolli but only 3 to 3½ chambers in final whorl (vs. 4), less-embracing chambers, and more subquadrate outline
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.
Wall type: Spinose; Cancellate [Aze 2011]
Morphology: Test small, low spired, spherical to subspherical chambers, three in the final whorl; sutures distinct and incised; umbilicus small, primary aperture centered over the suture between the penultimate and antepenultimate chambers; small, supplementary apertures on the spiral :side at sutural junctions; surface heavily encrusted, but spine bases can be seen on the final chamber, indicating a spinose test (Pl. 10, Fig. 5). [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

[SCOR WG138] Close morphological similarities between Gs. kennetti and Gs. bollii suggest that they are closely related. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Geographic distribution: Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]
Isotope paleobiology: Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 1 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, with symbionts. Based on very heavy ∂13C and relatively light ∂18O. Sources cited by Aze et al. 2011 (appendix S3): Keller (1985)
Phylogenetic relations:
Similar species: Gs. kennetti differs from Gs. bollii in having 3 to 3½ chambers instead of 4 in the final whorl, less-embracing chambers, and more subquadrate outline. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Most likely ancestor: Globigerinoides bollii - at confidence level 2 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan, fig. 9, p.70; Aze et al. 2011.
