Original Description

Diagnosis. Test is nannoperforate to microperforate, with large pore mounds and without periapertural pustulose area.

Description. Test is biserial throughout. Earlier chambers are globular, the last-formed ones reniform. Periphery is broadly rounded, without peripheral structures. Aperture is an arch at the base of the last-formed chamber and is bor- dered by two well-developed symmetrical anges. Chamber surface ornamented is with large pore mounds. Test wall is calcitic, hyaline, nannoperforate to microperforate.

Extra details from original publication

Remarks. Steineckia differs from Laeviheterohelix – emended by the absence of a periapertural pustulose area; it also lacks the incipient multiserial stage developed in the evolved species of Laeviheterohelix (i.e., L. reniformis). The origins of Steineckia are unknown. The absence of vestigial costae suggests that its ancestor is a taxon with smooth test surface.

Stratigraphic range. Upper Turonian (lower part of the Whiteinella baltica Biozone).

Geographic distribution. South Atlantic (Falkland Plateau).
