globigerina
Globigerina is a genus of planktonic Foraminifera, which are unicellular marine organisms that produce a calcium carbonate shell. They are notable for their role in oceanic carbon cycling and are used in paleoclimate studies due to their presence in the fossil record. The term 'Globigerina' is often used informally to refer to any foraminifera with a similarly spherical, chambered shell.
