Description Description: Test similar to Climacammina but with a poorly perforated part in the uniserial part (i.e., reduced to two apertures in axial section). The chambers are also more globose than those of Climacammina.
Occurrence: Moscovian (Reitlinger, 1950)–Changhsingian (Zhang & Hong, 2004). Permian Deckerella are relatively common (Ueno, 1992b; Davydov & Arefifard, 2007; Ebrahim Nejad et al., 2015). In the Carnic Alps, Deckerella was known in Forni Avoltri (Flügel, 1980), Schulterkofel Formation (Krainer et al., 2003a), and Auernig Group? (Flügel, 2004). In our study, it was found, in the Zweikofel, Zottachkopf and Trogkofel formations.

Diagnosis Test free, elongate, globular proloculus followed by tapering early stage, with slightly inflated, biserially arranged chambers, later uniserial and rectilinear, circular in section; wall thick, microgranular, dark in transmitted light, with incomplete inner fibrous layer lining the lateral walls and may have an irregular agglutinated external coating; aperture a low interiomarginal lunate slit in the early stage, later areal, terminal, and symmetrical, with two parallel oval to slitlike openings separated by a narrow partition. L. Carboniferous (Visean) to U. Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian); USA; USSR; Britain. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
