8. Material. Two specimens from two samples. Description. Test free, robust, initially planispiral involute coil, becoming uniseriate in the last chambers. The coiled portion consists of 4–5 chambers in the last whorl, separated by straight and depressed sutures. The uniseriate stage is rectilinear, composed of low, circular in section, chambers separated by indistinct sutures. Aperture terminal at the end of the ultimate chamber. Wall medium to coarse agglutinated.

Distribution. Late Cretaceous–Recent ( Kaminski and Gradstein, 2005).
