Carboniferous Limestone." Brady's drawings of A. minuta are consistent with the genus Amphistegina. No Amphistegina are known from the Carboniferous (stratigraphic range: Eocene to Recent). This might be another case of sample contamination by sieve residues similar to the case of Nummulina pristina? (Vachard and Le Coze (2021) pers. com.) [reference missing].
