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]

XenophyophoreaWhile 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).Xenophyophores

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.RobertinidaTemporal range: Middle Triassic - recent

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.
