Original description The test is hemispherical to spherical, taking shape depending on the substrate. Sometimes a cluster of two or three chambers is observed. The diameter varies greatly from 0.089 to 0.25 mm, the average diameter is 0.11-0.19 mm. The wall is very thin, microgranular, its thickness is 6.2-9.3 μ. There are no clear pores. No aperture was observed. Apparently, communication with the environment occurred due to very fine pores.
Comparison. The test is similar in shape to the images given by Mikhailov for Tuberitina maljavkini Mikh. But, unfortunately, the author does not provide a description of the species indicating the dimensions and wall thickness. The measured images have diameters of 0.17 and 0.33 mm, which approximately corresponds to the diameters of our forms.
Locality. The form is widespread both horizontally and vertically in the studied area.
Age. Carboniferous.
