Extra details from original publication Remarks: Favusella wenoensis, n. sp., differs from all other species of Favusella by its large flattened last chamber which is often half the size of the test and separated from the rest of the tste by a wide, deep suture. Generally, the elongate, flattened shape of the test is highly diagnostic. Range: Upper Albian: lower part of the Hedbergella delrioensis Snbzone. Occurrence: This species appears to be restricted to the Weno Formation of the North Central Texas area.
