Involutinida is an order of Foraminifera found in the fossil record from the early Permian to
early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) in which the proloculus, the initial chamber, is followed
by an enrolled tubular second chamber. The test wall is calcareous, perforate, radiate,
originally aragonitic but commonly recrystallized to homogeneous microgranular structure,
with lamellar thickenings or pillar-like structures in umbilical region of one or both sides.[1]

Xenophyophorea
While some xenophyophore species, such as Syringammina fragillissima were
originally classified as foraminiferans (Brady 1884); other xenophyophores, such
as Stannophyllum setosum, were initially thought to be deep-sea sponges
(Haeckel 1889). Once ranked as a phylum, Xenophyophora is currently classified

as a subgroup within Foraminifera based on evidence from molecular genetic

studies (Gooday et al. 2011, Pawlowski et al. 2003).

The Textulariida are an order of Foraminifera that produce agglutinated shells
or tests. An agglutinated test is one made of foreign particles glued together with
an organic or calcareous cement to form an external shell on the outside of the
organism. Commonly, the order had been made up of all species of Foraminifera
with these types of shells, but genetic studies indicate these organisms do not
form an evolutionary group, and several superfamilies in the order have been
moved to the order Allogromiida. The remaining forms are sometimes divided
into three orders: the Trochamminida and Lituolida, which have organic
cement, and the Textulariida sensu stricto, which use a calcareous cement. All
three orders or superfamilies are known as fossils from the Cambrian onwards.

The Robertinida are an order of Middle Triassic to recent, benthic Foraminifera

in which tests are planispirally to trochospirally coiled, with chambers provided
with an internal partition and hyaline perforated walls composed of optically
radiated aragonite.
