Miliamminana is a subclass of
miliolates established by Mikhalevich, 1980 that combines two groups of foraminifers with agglutinated tests. They are the
Rzehakinidae which previously were included in the
Texulariina in the
Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology
The ''Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology,'' published from 1953–2007 by the Geological Society of America and the University of Kansas, then 2009–present by the University of Kansas Paleontological Institute, is a definitive multi-authore ...
although milioline in form, and the milioline
Schlumbergerinida which includes genera removed from the
Miliolina
The Miliolida are an order of foraminifera with calcareous, porcelacous tests that are imperforate and commonly have a pseudochitinous lining. Tests are composed of randomly oriented calcite needles that have a high proportion of magnesium along ...
. The rzehakinids are composed of finely agglutinated material, insoluble in acid, over an organic base. Schlumbergerinids are composed of acid soluble agglutinated material over a porcelenous base. The unifying character is the nature of their coiling in which there are two tubular chambers, or sections, per whorl arranged in various planes and the fact that they are in part all agglutinated.
