Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. R. Loeblich and H. Tappan 1987Test trochospiral but later chambers may be enveloping; wall perforate, with numerous small pores or fewer larger ones, surface may be covered with narrow elongate nonlamellar monocrystalline spines with calcite c-axis running lengthwise of the spine; aperture interio-marginal, umbilical, umbilical-extraumbilical, or equatorial, and relatively large secondary sutural apertures also may occur.
