Shape of test low trochospiral, spiral side almost flat or slightly convex, umbilical side distinctly convex; equatorial periphery distinctly lobate; axial periphery rounded to subangular. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely spinose. Chambers subangular, inflated, laterally compressed; 12-15, arranged in about 2 1/2 whorls, the 5-6 chambers of the last whorl increasing moderately in size. Sutures on spiral side strongly curved, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus fairly narrow, deep, open. Aperture a low arch; interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical.

Extra details from original publication
Globorotalia uncinata Bolli, new species, differs from the related G. pseudobulloides (Plummer)
in having subangular, laterally distinctly truncated chambers and more strongly cmved sutures on the
spiral side. An intermediate specimen is shown on plate 17, figures 16-18 (USNM P5075). Globorotalia
uncinata is regarded as the ancester of Globorotalia angulata (White). A transitional form between these
two species is shown on plate 17, figures 10-12 (USNM P5074).
