Globigerinita glutinata
Life: G. glutinata is a non-spinose surface to deeper-dwelling planktic foraminifera with high genetic diversity (Morard et al., 2019) and a wide geographic range. It is abundant in tropical to cold waters of the modern ocean. Distinguishing features: G. glutinata has a microperforate texture, featuring a medium trochospiral test and 4 globular chambers in the final whorl. The species has an umbilical aperture, often with a bulla. Typical adult size >250 microns. Other names: Globigerina glutinata More information: mikrotax; foraminifera.eu; Morard et al., 2019; Brummer & Kucera, 2022 |

Specimen 1, 2, and 3 are G. glutinata shells from a shallow core on the Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific. Specimens 4 and 5 was obtained from a plankton tow near Green Island, Taiwan and was still full of cytoplasm at the time of collection.
Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF files) that can be imported into your favorite 3D data processing software program (we use imageJ). The STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing.
