Description: Cribrostomoides subglobosum is a brown agglutinating foraminera which made up about 98% of the sieved macrofauna samples (sieved on a 0.50 mm sieve) at Dalsnuten. The white foraminfera is the species Pyrgo sp.

The genus name "Ammobaculites" means "sandy walking stick". As you can seem the early chambers (at bottom) coil like the top of a cane, but later chambers grow in a straight line. Individual isolated from the Hamble estuary, southern England. Image courtesy of Dr. Elisabeth Alve, University of Oslo. Citation: Alve, E. and Murray, J.W.
