Globigerinoides is an extant genus of shallow-water planktonic foraminifera of family Globigerinidae.[1] First appearing in the Oligocene these foraminifera are found in all modern oceans. Species of this genus occupy the euphotic zone, generally at depths between 10-50m, in waters which cover a range of salinities and temperatures.[2] They are a shorter lived species, especially when compared to Globorotalia genus.[2] As a genus Globigerinoides is widely used in various fields of research including biostratigraphy, isotope geochemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology, and oceanography.
