Diagnosis Test elongate, proloculus attached to a substrate, usually to Lenticulina or another foraminiferal test, then growing free and nearly cylindrical, biserially arranged early chambers, becoming loosely biserial and finally uniserial, septa secondarily thickened as a new chamber is added, sutures slightly depressed; wall thick and coarsely agglutinated but not labyrinthic, constructed of smaller foraminiferal tests, fish bones, shell fragments, and various mineral particles, especially thick in the region of the aperture, with a massive floor of each chamber added against the previous septum, to greatly restrict the chamber lumen, interior of chamber not alveolar; aperture terminal, rounded in the early stage, later irregular in outline and finally multiple, with two to many separate openings. L. Paleocene (Danian), Midway Group; USA: Alabama, Mississippi, Texas. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
