Fig. 4. 1-15. Fabalveolina reicheli n. gen. n. sp. 1-12 from borehole Mondilhan 3, 2828-2909 m, 13-15 from Buges, Dordogne, Southwestern France. Transmitted light micrographs of thinsections of cemented rock except 2 and 12: incident light micrographs taken by M. REICHEL. 1: transverse section near to axial plane. 2: whorl surface in slightly oblique, peripheral view. 3: axial section of holotype. Note glomerulus. 4: oblique-equatorial section. Arrow: direction of growth. 5: crushed specimen in approximately axial section showing large preseptal passages and alveoli. 6: oblique centered section showing alveoli in postseptal position. Same specimen as 4 taken with much higher contrast. 7: oblique section tangential to polar area. 8-11: oblique, more or less centered sections. Note the long, undivided tubular chambers in the first few whorls. 12: oblique polar view of broken specimen showing septa and septula on decorticated surface. 13: axial section. 14: tangential section. 15: transverse section parallel to the axial plane. Abbreviations: alv: alveoles; gl: glomerulus; prp: preseptal passage; s: septum; sl: septulum.
