Diagnosis Test a high trochospiral, with numerous broad low chambers of nearly constant height between adjacent septa but with increasing number of chambers per whorl so that whorls enlarge rapidly and the apertural face of the final chamber occupies nearly half the test height, peripheral area of the chambers subdivided by vertical transverse partitions extending from chamber floor to roof but not aligned from chamber to chamber, openings near the inner ends of the partitions connect adjacent chamberlets within a single chamber; wall of imperforate microgranular calcite, with subepidermal reticulate network; aperture consists of a row of circular pores on the apertural face paralleling the peripheral margin, the pores concealed beneath a large apertural plate that covers most of the chamber face, space between the apertural face and the apertural plate occupied by a honeycomblike structure that is secondarily filled with shell material during growth, the filling and the secondary deposits on the chamber interior surfaces together forming a prominent solid central core pierced by multiple subcameral tunnels that run between the apertural pores of successive chambers. U. Jurassic (Oxfordian); Saudia Arabia. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
