Cibicididae

Cibicides lobatulus, copyright Marek Zajaczkowski & Patrycja Jernas.

Belongs within: Rotaliida.

The Cibicididae are a group of spiral foraminifera known from the Cretaceous to the present. In members of the subfamily Planulininae, the test is free and has a single aperture; in Cibicidinae, the test is attached by its spiral side and some forms have multiple apertures (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b).

Characters (from Loeblich & Tappan 1964b): Test free or attached, trochospiral to nearly planispiral, or later spreading, irregular or cyclical; wall coarsely perforate, radial in structure, septa double (bilamellar); aperture interiomarginal, may extend onto spiral side, and peripheral supplementary apertures may occur.
