The Globigerinidae are a group of planktonic Foraminifera known from the Upper Cretaceous Maastrichtian epoch to the present. The earliest members of the family are assigned to the subfamily Globigerininae (which survives to the present), characterised by a trochospiral to streptospiral test with the primary aperture umbilical or spiroumbilical. The Miocene to Recent Sphaeroidinellinae have flange-like margins on the chambers, and walls have secondary thickening and reduced perforations (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b).
Characters (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b): Test trochospiral, streptospiral or globular, chambers spherical, ovate or clavate; primary aperture umbilical or spiroumbilical, may have secondary sutural or areal apertures, bullae, and accessory infralaminal apertures.
