Diagnosis Test free, a series of subglobular chambers without definite arrangement; wall agglutinated, of loosely cemented coarse particles; no distinct aperture, but interstitial pores probably allow communication with the exterior. Silurian to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
