Current identification/main database link: Rhizammina indivisa Brady, 1884
Original Description
Flexible unbranched tubes, the investment of a Rhizopod to all appearance closely allied to the species last described [Rhizammina algaeformis] not unfrequently present themselves in dredged material, especially in Globigerina ooze from moderate depths. Our knowledge of these forms is as yet very slight, and all that can at present be done is to describe their salient characters, and to furnish a name by which they may be identified. Some specimens of the sort referred to are figured in pl. 29, figs. 5-7.
The test is cylindrical and seldom straight; it generally tapers towards the extremities, one or both of which may occasionally be found with a constricted mouth, but more frequently in preserved specimens the ends are broken or collapsed. The chitinous envelope is of brownish colour, and comparatively slender, but it is encrusted with Globigerinae or other foreign bodies, often to a considerable thickness. The exterior of the test is always rough, and sometimes transversely wrinkled as in fig. 7.
