pforams@mikrotax - Globorotaliidae

Citation: Globorotaliidae Blow 1979

Taxonomic discussion: This family was not used in the Oligocene Altas (Wade et al. 2018) but is used by the SCOR Working Group on modern planktonic foraminifera (Brummer & Kucera 2014, 2015) and is a distinct clade in the phylogeny of Aze et al. 2011.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (pf_cenozoic): This is a polyphyletic gruoping including all Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera
This taxon: Macroperforate, non-spinose

Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Most likely ancestor: Globigerinidae - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: The ancestor of Globorotalia is thought to be Paragloborotalia.
