Description More or less strongly transformed consortial associations of tubular miliolate foraminifers with cyanobacterial algae. Poorly transformed tubular miliolates still exhibit sagittiform cavities evoking uniseriate series of chambers. Strongly transformed tubiphytid consortia appear as masses of a rounded, thick-walled skeletons pierced by a small rounded cavity, central or excentred. Late Moscovian-Early Cretaceous.

Original description Diagnosis. Atypical Miliolata weakly to strongly transformed by a consortial association with cyanobacterial algae. Proloculus and juvenarium are very poorly known but seem to exist. Poorly transformed chambered tubes are called Cordiformis Güvenc¸ (nom. nud.; see Vachard and Montenat, 1981, pl. 13, fig. 10; Vachard and Ferrière, 1991, Plate 1, fig. 4); Foraminifer gen. et sp. indet. in the sense of Senowbari-Daryan and Flügel; and Nodophtahlmidium Macfadyen; etc. Typical forms appear as masses of a rounded, thick-walled taxon with a small rounded cavity (e.g., Razgallah and Vachard, 1991; Senowbari-Daryan and Flügel, 1993).
Occurrence. Questionable references to tubiphytids in Bashkirian and early Moscovian deposits (e.g., Samankassou, 2001; Della Porta et al., 2002) seem more related with “tolypamminid” (in fact, porcelaneous homeomorphs of these latter) foraminifers. In late or latest Moscovian, Palaeonubecularia rustica Reitlinger, true primitive tubiphytids (Latitubiphytes n. gen, see below), and transitional forms between both genera can be found together. The typical
tubiphytids are present from the Late Pennsylvanian (Kasimovian) to Early Cretaceous (for Mesozoic forms see Senowbari-Daryan et al., 2008).
