Description
Test free, large, early portion biserial, later with more or less well-developed uniserial portion, chambers increasing gradually in size, commonly broad, low, sutures depressed, wall calcareous, with 2 layers, inner layer radially fibrous, outer layer granular, and may have agglutinated particles; apertural face of chambers in late biserial and uniserial stages supported by irregular pillars between terminal wall and preceding septum, forming labyrinthic interior: aperture in earliest biserial chambers interiomarginal slit; in later chambers slit supplemented by one or more openings in septal face, gradually becoming nearly terminal in position, and in uniserial stage with 2 or more terminally placed openings, commonly very numerous and covering major portion of terminal
face.
