transitional forms are often erroneously identified as G. miocenica it must be stressed
that correct species identification allows for little variation, one of the prime characters,

(1982a) in conjunction with their study on G. mayeri. Here also their observations are based on a
sequence of specimens throughout the range of the species. G. continuosa appears to have
developed gradually from the G. opima nana stock through the Globigerina ciperoensis ciperoensis
