Description Description: Test free, probably infaunal, undivided tubular, planispirally evolute coiled; occasionally with a terminal part uncoiled. Wall microstructure indeterminated; perhaps atypically porcelaneous, microgranular or partly aragonitic. Aperture terminal simple at the end of the tube. Some secondary sutural pores occasionally present.
Range and distribution: Very rare in the lower Triassic Werfen Fm of the Karawanken Mts., Austria (Krainer & Vachard 2011: pl. 3, figs 8, 12 and 13) and Changhsingian of the Dolomites, Italy (Giacobbe 1987); sporadic in the late Permian, characteristic of the Induan (earliest Triassic). Questionable in the Olenekian (late Early Triassic). In the Triassic, for detailed distribution see Krainer & Vachard (2011: 77–78). Add: South China (as Rectocornuspira sp.; Shang et al. 2003: pl. 1, fig. 6; Gu et al. 2005: pl. 2, figs 18, 19) and Emirates (Vachard unpublished data).
