The agglutinated foraminiferal species Sculptobaculitesgoodlandensis has been studied to determine the composition of the cement and grains that make up the test wall. Elemental mapping of the internal structure reveals a layered wall with quartz grains in calcitic cement on the edges of the wall and an inner, calcitic layer of mixed detrital calcareous grains and fine-grained calcite, presumed to be secreted calcitic cement.
