Diagnosis Test consists of a complex system of fine branching tubules of even diameter; wall agglutinated, of argillaceous particles in organic cement, covering a thin laminated inner organic layer; stercomata (fecal pellets) accumulate within the tubules; no recognizable aperture other than simple perforations in the wall. Holocene; in abyssal and hadal regions of the oceans. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
