Spirillinina

Taxonomy
Spirillinina was named by Hohenegger and Piller (1975). It is extant. It was considered unknown by Hohenegger and Piller (1975), Loeblich and Tappan (1987).

It was assigned to Spirillinida by Hohenegger and Piller (1975); to Foraminiferida by Loeblich and Tappan (1984); and to Tubothalamea by Loeblich and Tappan (1987).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Hohenegger and W. Piller 1975As with the Lagenina, the wall structure is only here in connection with the test morphology and the phylogenetic relationships of diagnostic value.
The wall structure in early representatives of this subordination is two-layered, with an inner inaequigranular and one outer hyaline-radial layer (cf. Plate 8, Fig. 1, 2). In the course of of the Paleozoic Era, the inner layer was lost (see Plate 8, Fig. 3, 4). The housings are generally two-chamber, with
a spherical proloculus and a tubular deuteroloculus. This can be strepto- plan- or trochospiral. Protosepta and real septa appear very late in
evolutionary terms (chalk) in few forms. The numerous pores are larger in diameter than that of the Lagenina.
A. R. Loeblich and H. Tappan 1987Coiling planispiral to high trochospiral, proloculus followed by enrolled tubular undivided chambers or with few chambers per whorl, chambers may be secondarily subdivided; wall of calcite, optically a single crystal or few to a mosaic of crystals; a axis preferred orientation along axis of coiling and c-axis parallel to umbilical surface; may have pseudopores or micropores filled with organic matter and closed by sieve plates, wall formed by marginal accretion, not by calcification of an organic template produced by pseudopodia. U. Triassic to Holocene.
