Globigerina bulloides d'Orbigny, aspinose planktic foraminifer, is substantially present in temperate to subpolar water masses and is also characteristic of upwelling areas in lower latitudes [4-11].
In the deepest block (I) surficial sediments were classified as
Globigerina clay devoid of an oxidized layer, whilst the adjacent block (II) contained an assorted biogenic hemipelagic biota (foraminifera, pteropods, scaphopods, micromolluscs, and echinoid and sponge spicules) and a discrete oxidized layer.

Although we dredged frequently in most characteristic
Globigerina ooze, I was much struck with the absence of living Globigerinae on the surface.
