Abstract
Abstract
A replacement neotype for Globigerina crassaformis Galloway & Wissler, 1927, is proposed for one that was published but lost in curation prior to being deposited. The specimen is selected from an analysis of the axial shape of 54 specimens from the type and adjacent localities. Its cone-like attributes include progressively elevated and tapering umbilical walls, an acute, keeled periphery, and a low-relief spiral surface. Globorotalia crassacarina Scott, Bishop & Burt, 1990, and possibly Globorotalia hessi Bolli & Premoli Silva, 1973, include specimens that closely resemble the proposed neotype and may be junior synonyms.
