__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''LATERAL CHAMBERLETS''' - (cubicula); in orbitoidiform architecture: chamberlets of roughly isometric or irregular to vermicular outline, layer-wise arranged in a [[chessboard pattern]]. They cover both lateral surfaces of orbitoidiform shells. Retral stolons connect the main chamberlets in the median chamberlet layer with the adjacent lateral layers of chamberlets. Consecutive layers of lateral chamberlets are connected with oblique stolons. The lateral chamberlets of one layer may be connected between themselves by more or less restricted passages. There may be gradual transitions between lateral chamberlet layers and expanse chambers.
