Description:

Globigerinidae is a family of tiny marine planktonic foraminifera that belong to the order Foraminiferida. These single-celled organisms have shells with multiple chambers and are primarily found in the ocean. They play a crucial role in paleoclimatology and biostratigraphy as their fossils are used to reconstruct past environments and determine the age of sedimentary rocks.
