Fig. 4 in Dictyoconella Henson, 1948, Upper Cretaceous Larger Benthic Foraminifera: A Taxonomic Revision With The Establishment Of Gusicella Gen. Nov. (Type-Species Dictyoconella Minima Henson)

Fig. 4 Dictyoconella complanata Henson from the Maastrichtian of the Tarbur Formation of Iran (Naghan section, a-i, k) and the Simsima Formation of Qatar (j). a, d, oblique sections perpendicular to plane of compression. Note the inclination of the apical-juvenile part expressed by the parallel-sectioning of septum (s) and foramina (f) in d. b, oblique section passing through the initial part of a microspheric specimen. c, f, i-k, oblique sections in the plane of compression (j, paratype from Henson, 1948, pl. 10, fig. 14). Detail from i shows the fine subepidermal cellular network, marginal foramina and undivided marginal trough. e, g-h, oblique sections passing through the initial part of megalospheric specimens. Thin sections: 2Ng 81- 2 (a, d), Ng 76 (b), 2Ng 81-3 (c), Ng 85 (e), 2Ng 87-2 (f, i), 2Ng 80-1 (g), 2Ng 85-4 (h), 2Ng 81-1 (k). Abbreviations: b = beam, deu = deuteroconch, f = foramen m.f. = marginal foramen, m.t. = marginal trough, pi = pillar, pr = proloculus, T = Tarburina zagrosiana Schlagintweit et al. (in k).
