Globorotalia is a genus of foraminifers belonging to the family Globorotaliidae.[1] It is a single-celled animal large enough to be seen with a naked eye and is found in the fossil record back to the Paleocene. It is deep-dwelling planktonic foraminifers that inhabit the top few hundred meters of the ocean and constitute potential recorders of thermocline conditions. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.[1]
