Globorotalia

Globorotaliidae

Taxonomy
Globorotalia was named by Cushman (1927) [Sepkoski's age data: T Mi-m R]. It is extant.

It was assigned to Globorotaliinae by Bertels (1970), Loeblich and Tappan (1984); to Globigerinidae by Gibson (1983), Wienrich (1997); to Foraminiferida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Globorotaliidae by Cushman (1927), Snyder et al. (1983), Lam and Leckie (2020).
