. The test is broadly oval to circular in outline, with a smoothly rounded proximal end and a circular cross section (Plate 1, figs A–D). The distal end is slightly flattened with a single aperture. This is a simple opening 25–30 µm diameter, with an indistinct, slightly raised rim and without any associated structures. Fine detritus typically accumulates around the aperture. Five specimens had the following dimensions: length 210–413 µm (mean 308± 88.6 µm), maximum width 210–370 (mean 279 ± 64.8 µm).

. The test wall is translucent and the rose-Bengal-stained cell body is clearly visible through it when the test is immersed in water and viewed in reflected light; it is more or less transparent in transmitted light (Plate 1, figs B, D). The surface is very smooth, unwrinkled, with a diffuse, silvery, reflective sheen (Plate 1, figs A, C). The wall is clearly defined and very thin (<5 µm), particularly at the proximal end, but slightly thicker (up to 15 µm) around the aperture. It is composed of several layers of very fine plate-like particles (1–5 µm, but usually 1–2 µm in size) that overlie an organic lining (Plate 1, figs E–H). X-ray microanalysis reveals strong peaks for Si and Al and smaller peaks for K, Ca, Mg, and Fe, consistent with a clay mineral composition (

. The cell body is well defined and either fills the test cavity almost completely, or is separated from the wall by a narrow space, which is apparently empty (Plate 1, figs B, D). When viewed through the test wall, the cytoplasm appears dense and very finely granular with no obvious large inclusions such as stercomata. A large nucleus (~50-µm diameter) is visible in one specimen. An endosolenial tube is not clearly developed although a lighter area of cytoplasm immediately inside the aperture of one specimen when viewed in transmitted light suggests that such structure may be present.

In all available specimens, the test is contained within an outer agglutinated casing (secondary test) within which it lies fairly loosely (Plate 2). This structure is spherical to oval in shape. A narrow tubular extension, which is orientated on the same axis as the aperture of the inner test, is sometimes clearly developed. However, this structure is not always evident. When present, it presumably acts as a channel through which pseudopodia are deployed (Plate 2, fig. B) Eleven specimens had the following dimensions; length 364–770 µm (mean 496±117 µm), width 287–539 (mean 428±96 µm). The tubular extension ranged in length from 40 to 840 µm (shorter tubes were probably broken) with a width of 14 to 42 µm.

. The outer case is fragile, breaking easily when poked with a needle. It is composed mainly of irregularly-shaped grains, 10–50 µm in size (Plate 3, figs E,F), which yield X-ray spectra dominated by Si and are presumably composed of quartz (

). Much smaller clay-sized particles are also present between the larger grains. The tubular extension is composed mainly of these smaller (<10 µm) grains (Plate 3, fig. A,B,D). An organic matrix partially obscures some of the grains on the outer surface, and what appears to be an organic lining is visible in SEM photographs of the tubular extension (Plate 3, fig. C).

, the maximum depth sampled (Figure 3). The overall average living depth (ALD5) was 2.5. In addition to ‘live’ ‘saccamminids’, we also encountered empty outer cases. These were more abundant than the ‘live’ specimens and were found in deeper sediment layers (Figure 3). The average depth of occurrence of empty cases (ADDC5) was 4.6. All three replicate cores showed different numbers of ‘live’ and empty cases at each of the sediment layers, suggesting patchiness in the occurrence of this species.
