Original description: DIAGNOSE : Cette espèce est morphologiquement très semblable à Globotruncana fornicata PLUMMER, mais elle s'en distingue par la position de l'ouverture primaire qui est ombilicale-extraombilicale et non franchement ombilicale.

DESCRIPTION : Test calcaire hyaline perforé bilamellaire et enroulement trochospiralé. Ouverture primaire ombilicale-extraombilicale. Forme biconvexe, la face dorsale étant généralement plus convexe que la face ventrale. Bandeau carénal périphérique étroit, comportant deux carènes divergentes, étroitement accolées sur la partie postérieure des loges. Le plan de chacune des loges est décalé par rapport celui de ses voisines, ce qui donne g l'ensemble du test une allure contournée caractéristique. Cette disposition se traduit surtout par un aspect sinueux du bandeau carénat et par une ondutation de la surface du test sur Ia face spirale. Les loges sont très fortement étirées dans le sens de l'enroulement et prennent une allure imbriquée, nettement soulignée sur la face ventrale par le parcours sigmoide des bourrelets suturaux et périombilicaux. L'ombilic, relativement large, est en partie masqué par les expansions lamelleuses ("tegilla") issues de la partie adombilicale de chacune des loges; ces expansions ménagent entre elles des ouvertures accessoires infra et intralaminales.

Emended description:
Test moderately high trochospiral, somewhat asymmetrically biconvex. Primary aperture extraumbilical-umbilical. Two keels forming a sinuous outline, closely spaced on the posterior part of the chamber, diverging on the anterior part where they are separated by an imperforate peripheral band. Equatorial periphery subcircular. Chambers strongly elongated in the direction of coiling with a flat or undulated surface on spiral side; umbilical chambers imbricated and strongly elongated in the direction of coiling; 5-6 chambers in final whorl. On spiral side sutures curved, very oblique and raised. On umbilical side the sutures are raised, V-shaped and sigmoid with the sutural ridge continuing around the umbilical depressions. Umbilicus wide and deep surrounded or covered by portici. [copied from Chronos database]

Globotruncana fornicata manaurensis moved out of sinuosa and now considered as a valid species of Marginotruncana.
