The Remaneicidae are a family of shell-bearing, marine unicellular organisms from the group of foraminifera and the only family in the superfamily of the Remaneicacea .

features

The housings of the Remaneicidae are agglutinated, i.e. composed of fine particles of organic origin that are taken up by the animals from the sediment and held together by mineral or protein-based binders. They have a weakly trochospiral structure; the chambers are partially further subdivided inside either by secondary partition walls (septa) or by folds in the wall.

Systematics

The Remaneicidae are the only family in the superfamily of the Remaneicacea. The family was first described in 1964 by the American micropalaeontologists Alfred R. Loeblich and Helen Tappan . Species of the Remaneicidae are only known from the Holocene .

Genera are:
