Dataset abstract Morphometric data, produced and used, to describe Globigerinoides rublobatus n. sp., a new species of fossil planktonic foraminifera from the Pleistocene Indian Ocean. We used image analysis and morphometry of 860 specimens from International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1483 in the tropical Indian Ocean to document morphological variability in the new species and related taxa.
