HALENIA Conil, 1980

 

Tvpe species: Halenia legrandi Conil, 1980; OD.

Halenia Conil. 1980(*657), p. 45.

Test elongate, early stage of test unknown but with elongate biserial stage resembling Eotextularia or Palaeospiroplectammina, and finally uniserial with horizontal septa; wall calcareous, microgranular to coarsely granu­lar, with calcite inclusions; aperture basal in the biserial stage, terminal in the uniserial stage, and cribrate in the adult. L. Carbonif­erous (Visean); Belgium.

 

Remarks: The base is missing on the observed individuals, but Conil noted that it occurred with Eotextularia. Possibly the associated "Eotextularia" in Belgium are in fact only young stages of Halenia.
