Lenticulina sp. A

Figure 7.8a, b

Description. Test small, circular in outline, planispiral with five to six chambers in the final whorl and an acute periphery. Sutures thick, flush, radial, slightly curved backwards. Chambers increasing in size gradually. Wall smooth without ornamentation. Aperture terminal.

Remarks. differs from Lenticulina gibba ( d’Orbigny, 1839a) by being less elongated in outline and possessing sutures that are only slightly curved backwards and less chambers in the final whorl. It might be a juvenile of Lenticulina sp. B .
