Salterella is an enigmatic Cambrian–Ordovician genus with a calcareous shell that appears to be septate,[2] but is rather filled with stratified laminar deposits.[3] Its shell contains grains of sediment, which are obtained selectively (with a preference for denser grains) by a manner also observed in foramanifera.[4]
