Tuberitinidae

Tuberitina bulbacea, copyright AMNH.

Belongs within: Eukaryota.

The Tuberitinidae are a group of Palaeozoic microfossils of uncertain affinities known from the Silurian to the Permian (Vachard et al. 2001). An alternation between free and attached generations has been identified for at least some members of the group (Munnecke et al. 2000), with the attached generation being composed of one or more subhemispherical chambers (Loeblich & Tappan 1964).
