The Cibicididae are a group of spiral foraminifera known from the Cretaceous to the present. The test is attached by the spiral side and has an equatorial primary aperture that may extend onto the spiral side; advanced forms may have multiple apertures. In the genus Cibicides, the spiral side is flat to excavated and evolute whereas the umbilical side is strongly convex and involute (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b).
