Gansserina, the Glossary
Gansserina is a genus of planktonic foraminifera, included in the globigerinid family Globotruncanidae,, World Foraminifera Database, accessed 3 December 2018 that had a fairly wide distribution in the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian).[1]

Alfred R. Loeblich Jr
Alfred R. Loeblich Jr (August 15, 1914 – September 9, 1994) was an American micropaleontologist.

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).
Eukaryote
The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.
Foraminifera
Foraminifera (Latin for "hole bearers"; informally called "forams") are single-celled organisms, members of a phylum or class of Rhizarian protists characterized by streaming granular ectoplasm for catching food and other uses; and commonly an external shell (called a "test") of diverse forms and materials.
See Gansserina and Foraminifera
Globigerinina
The Globigerinina is a suborder of foraminiferans that are found as marine plankton.

Helen Niña Tappan Loeblich
Helen Niña Tappan Loeblich (October 12, 1917 – August 18, 2004) was an American micropaleontologist who was a professor of geology at the University of California, Los Angeles, a United States Geological Survey (USGS) biostratigrapher, and a scientific illustrator whose micropaleontology specialty was research on Cretaceous foraminifera.

Late Cretaceous
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale.
See Gansserina and Late Cretaceous
Maastrichtian
The Maastrichtian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) geologic timescale, the latest age (uppermost stage) of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series, the Cretaceous Period or System, and of the Mesozoic Era or Erathem.

Retaria
Retaria is a clade within the supergroup Rhizaria containing the Foraminifera and the Radiolaria.
Rhizaria
The Rhizaria are a diverse and species-rich supergroup of mostly unicellular eukaryotes.
Rotaliida
The Rotaliida are an order of Foraminifera, characterized by multilocular tests (shells) composed of bilamellar perforate hyaline lamellar calcite that may be optically radial or granular.
SAR supergroup
SAR or Harosa is a highly diverse clade of eukaryotes, often considered a supergroup, that includes stramenopiles (heterokonts), alveolates, and rhizarians.

Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology
The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (or TIP) published by the Geological Society of America and the University of Kansas Press, is a definitive multi-authored work of some 50 volumes, written by more than 300 paleontologists, and covering every phylum, class, order, family, and genus of fossil and extant (still living) invertebrate animals.
