Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to document three well-preserved morphotypes of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) planktonic foraminifera from the continental margin of northwestern Australia. This location is on the southern shelf of the Middle Jurassic Tethys Ocean, and these occurrences of planktonic or meroplanktonic species are the first to be reported from the Jurassic of the Southern Hemisphere. The morphotypes include a new subspecies of Globuligerina bathoniana (Pazdrowa): Globuligerina bathoniana australiana n. ssp. Two other taxa are also described: Globuligerina altissapertura n. sp. and Mermaidogerina loopae n. gen. n. sp. The microstructure of the wall is shown in scanning electron microscope images. The change from chamber to chamber in the formation of the surface ornament by secondary lamination, and its subsequent burial within the wall, is demonstrated in detail.
