Species Wondersella athersuchi Banner & Strank 1987


Discussion / Comments:
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.
