From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Test lenticular, globular proloculus followed by cornuspirine tubular undivided seco"1d chamber forming about one whorl, then with gradually shortened chambers of one to onehalf whorls in length, coiling involute; wall thick, that of later whorls completely overlapping the early ones to produce a thick umbonal region, chamber lumen restricted to the peripheral area of the test, composition of the fossil test is siliceous, probably due to replacement of an originally porcelaneous calcareous wall; aperture terminal, rounded, with thickened rim, projecting somewhat above the periphery as a result of the strongly thickened chamber floor that distally restricts the chamber diameter. M. Triassic (Anisian); Turkey. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
