Original description Description—Test free, relatively small, discoidal or complanate; numerous whorls coiled in a planispiral manner though axial rotation may occur in early or late stages of growth; chambers numerous, crescentiform, regularly arranged, square to rectangular in sagittal section; sutures distinct and depressed in later portion only and internal septa normal to peripheral margin in sagittal section; periphery usually — slightly lobulate; primary structure of wall unknown—usually preserved in recrystallized calcite, amorphous or crystalline silica; no chomata or secondary deposits present; aperture terminal, lunate opening at base of apertural face.
Horizon and facies —Loeblichia is comparatively rare in the British Lower Carboniferous and is confined to the upper horizons. It has been re- corded from the upper part of the Yoredale series in Northumberland, the Upper Dibuno-phyllum Zone of Northwest England, and both the Lower Limestone group and the Upper Limestone group of Scotland.
