Data from: Bridging the extant and fossil record of planktonic foraminifera: implications for the Globigerina lineage

<p>Dataset for the biometric study on picked specimens of the planktonic foraminifer <em>Globigerina falconensis</em>. The individuals span the biozones M4 to PT1 from various locations worldwide. All specimens come from cored drill samples from IODP Site U1482, ODP Site 590, Meteor M32. Extra 33 samples are from a geological outcrop located in Siena Basin (Italy). All these data have been used for the paper entitled: Bridging the extant and fossil record of planktonic foraminifera: implications for the <em>Globigerina</em> lineage. </p>
