Diagnosis Test attached, about 3.5 mm to 6 mm in height; early stage may consist of a hemispherical to cap-like expansion that may attach to a hard substrate or be buried in a softer one, or less commonly may lack a basal expansion and be directly attached to the substrate; an irregularly branching, dendritic nonseptate tube arises either from the center or margin of the convex surface of the basal chamber or directly from the attachment, successive branchlets of decreased diameter; wall with organic lining more or less thickly coated with fine-grained agglutinated material, may have ferruginous cement; apertures at the open ends of the branches. Pleistocene to Holocene; N. Atlantic: off Scotland; Norway. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
