Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V.I. Mikhalevich 1980Test multichambered only, all regular types of chamber arrangement well presented (glomerate type practically absent), mostly trochospiral, planospiral and derived from both of them biserial and triserial ones (rarely secondarily uniserial), in advanced forms often cyclical; inner complications of chamber lumen are strongly developed: from thickened layers of the wall of different structure (labyrintic, spongy, alveolar) and pillars till septa and septula (of the first and the second order) in higher representatives; chambers usually isomorphic, chamber number could increase to some hundreds; additional skeletal plates above the sutures and umbilicus may present; wall agglutinated and microgranular, often with various complication of the inner wall, which could be cancellate, alveolar, spongy, may have pseudopores or sometimes canaliculi;; aperture basal, usually at the base of the apertural face both in coiled and in some biserial and triserial monoaxial forms, in the last ones could became secondarily terminal(areal, sieve-like), may have various inner structures ( tooth-plates and open subcylindrical or closed cylindrical plates) which could be interconnected and could form a single system, supplementary apertures well developed (sutural, umbilical, peripheral); mostly free living, rarely attached.
