MILIOLINA
The miliolines have tests
that are porcelaneous and imperforate, made of high Mg-calcite with fine, randomly
oriented crystals. They range from the Carboniferous to the Holocene, and the
larger forms occur in one of four superfamilies. For images of the Miliolina
follow the links below, but for a fuller discussion of Larger Benthic
