Diagnosis Test free living in the early stage, later attached within cavities in bioherms, early flattened stage of four or five planispirally enrolled chambers, later with more enveloping chambers and changed direction of growth and may uncoil and become meandrine, the irregular chambers varying in form and position according to the space in which the individual was confined; wall calcareous, perforate, laminated, with fibrous radial structure, surface generally smooth, but occasional small external spines serve for anchorage in the cavities; aperture terminal, large, probably rounded, bordered by slightly thickened wall. U. Jurassic (M. Oxfordian); England. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
