Ammobaculites
sp. 1 (
Fig. 3
:4)
Description.
Diagnostic of
Ammobaculites
(
Loeblich & Tappan 1987; p. 74, pl. 58, figs 3–4
), available material possesses distinctly agglutinated, calcareous test with the initial chambers arranged in a tightly coiled whorl that extends into a series of inflated and rounded uniserial chambers (
Fig. 3
:4). Also like
Ammobaculites
, the sutures are indistinct and obscured by poorly sorted agglutinated grains.
Remarks.
The specimen bears strong resemblance to
Ammobaculites exiguus
Cushman & Brönnimann 1948
, but the poor preservation prevents a definitive specific assignment.
Disribution within study area.
Ammobaculites
sp. 1 was only found at site
15 in
Wistari Lagoon.
