__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''FOLIAR CHAMBERLET''' - the part of a chamber delimited by a [[folium]]. A foliar chamberlet may be continuous with the main chamber, and is separated primarily (and partly or more completely) from the main chamber by a [[foramenal plate]], by an umbilical plate, or - secondarily - by a cover plate or a sealing plate. A foliar chamberlet communicates with the exterior through foliar apertures and with the lumen of its own main chamber through openings in the umbilical plate or cover plate (when present) or at its margin. Depending upon the geometry of the test, a foliar chamberlet may be converted into part of a secondary spiral umbilical canal as part of the umbilical cavity and communicates with intraseptal interlocular spaces.
