Nodosarioidea is one of two superfamilies making up the foraminiferal order Lagenida. The other being the Robuloidoidea. Of these two Nodosarioidea is the more advanced, as well as being the younger.
Nodosarioidea are characterized by planispirally coiled, uncoiled, or straight chambers, or which are coiled about a longitudinal axis. Test (or shell) walls are of finely perforate, radial laminated calcite. Apertures are peripheral or terminal, variable in form. Septa, dividing the chambers, are unilamellar, composed of a single layer, while the outer walls may be multilamellar, composed of multiple layers built up with the addition of new chambers.
