Taxonomy
Original description: Definition. - The tapering calcareous test is composed of biserially staggered, globular to subglobular chambers as in the genus Guembelina [Egger]. A pointed unlobulated initial end consists of minute chambers, followed by a lobated stage with considerably larger and more-inflated chambers. The chambers may become laterally compressed in the last stage. The principal aperture is an arched opening at the base of the inner margin of the ultimate chamber. In the lobated stage a minute accessory aperture is developed at the base near the median line on each side of each chamber. These apertures are covered by tiny valves or flaps. They are commonly damaged or filled with adherent matrix, and thus are not readily detected. Striations or costations (if present) are arranged longitudinally, following the contour of the chambers.
Family Heterohelicidae. Upper Cretaceous.
