Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M.F. Glaessner 1937Test small, built up with about 10-15 spherical or oval-shaped, distinct, separated chambers. The spire of the initial chambers in existing specimens is not distinctly recognizable. The ratio of chamber width to the length varies strongly. The largest diameter of the last chamber is offset from the biserial plane. Consequently, the last chamber diagonally overlies the previous one, the median suture on both sides are not opposite each other and the test appears thereby somewhat distorted. The aperture opens not in the usual case towards the edge of the test, but in a direction which lies between the edge and the side of the test. In extreme cases, it is directed even along the suture of the last chamber in side view. The aperture is moderate in width, but high, half rounded and enclosed along the margin. The test surface in many specimens is covered by fine granulations, but in spite of their minuteness especially on the periphery, [there are] distinctly visible sharp tiny protuberances.
