Description Colanielloidea with different sagittal axial and frontal axial sections. Sagittal axial sections exhibiting geinitzinoid chambers; i.e., low, medially arched, and non-enveloping. Frontal axial sections are nodosarioid in shape. Aperture terminal, simple. Latest Pennsylvanian to Triassic.
