A New Holocene Species of Globorotalia

Abstract

Bottom samples from the Gulf of Mexico were obtained in order to study planktonic foraminiferal assemblages. The samples represent the uppermost sediments recovered during coring operations of the U.S.N.S. Kane (Cruise 939014) and the R. V. Alaminos (Traverse 64-A-9). A new species of Globorotalia Cushman, 1927, is present at six of the stations (Table 1).
