Original Description "Test rotaliform, nearly equally biconvex; wall calcareous, finely perforate,ornamented with fine spinose protuberances, giving a granular appearance; periphery subangular, lobulate, not keeled; all chambers visible dorsally, only last whorl of four visible ventrally; chambers inflated, increasing gradually in size as added; dorsal sutures strongly curved, nearly tangential, depressed; ventral sutures nearly straight, depressed; aperture a small, labiate, crescentic opening extending from umbilicus about one-third of way toward periphery along base of apertural face of last chamber. Size: Maximum diameter 0.23 mm.;base of apertural face of last chamber, minimum diameter 0.18 mm.; maximum thickness 0.13 mm. Etymology: Named in honor of David Nicol. Extra details from original publication Remarks.-This small, common species resembles Globorotalia wilcoxensis Cushman and Ponton (1932) but differs in being convex on the dorsal side, instead of flat, and in having dorsally narrower chambers and more strongly curved sutures.
Range.-Samples I-X8 through I-S22+7 - i.e. from about 135 feet above the Moreno-Lodo contact to about 10 feet above the base of the Domengine formation (Eocene). Editors' Notes
