Original Description Test only slightly longer than broad, much compressed, early portion rapidly tapering, later with the sides nearly parallel, all but the latest chambers keeled; chambers broader than high, increasing somewhat in relative height in the last chambers, only slightly inflated; sutures of the early portion slightly limbate, later ones slightly depressed; wall in the early portion slightly costate, later smooth, finely perforate; aperture low, arched. Size: Length: 0.20 - 0.22 mm; breadth 0.15 - 0.18 mm; thickness 0.06 - 0.08 mm Extra details from original publication This species differs from G. striata in the smaller, much compressed test, which is strongly carinate. It occurs mostly in the lower part of the Taylor marl, but specimens occur rarely in the Annona chalk and Wolfe City sand member of the Taylor. It is evidently the ancestral form of some of those species with compressed and carinate early stages. It was at first thought possible the young of some of the other species, but seems to be distinct. Editors' Notes Intermediate costae; sharply acute periphery; rugose ornamentation along median suture --Huber
