Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997):
Remarks: A praehedbergellid in which the
early trochospiral test is followed by a streptospire.
The first two whorls are very similar to
those of Blefuscuiana gorbachikae (Longoria,
1974; Chapter 8) but the succeeding chambers are
crescentiform (lunate) in equatorial view and
are coiled irregularly and streptospirally,
frequently covering and closing the ventral
umbilicus.
It has similarity to Asterohedbergelb asterospinosa
Hamaoui, 1964, from the Late Cenomanian
of Israel, but that species is a hedbergellid
and does not have the lunate chambers or streptospirality
of Wondersella.
Described originally from thin-section material.
The genus is monotypic so the characters of the
genus are those of the type species. This taxon has
no descendants. |
