Detailed Description

Scanning electron micrographs of Globigerinoides ruber (White) morphotypes. (1) a and b. G. ruber (W) sensu lato; (2) c and d. G. ruber (W) sensu stricto. Scientists at the USGS investigated the difference in the oxygen isotopic composition of the 2 morphotypes of G. ruber in the sediment trap.
