'''PARAPORES''' (canaliculi; pseudopores, pars auct.) is in agglutinated foraminifera: straight to tortuous tubular spaces, round to polygonal in section, more or less normal to the test surface, coated and closed off internally by the organic lining. May be branching and anastomosing and - usually - restricted to the inner wall-layer, thus ending blindly beneath an outer solid "pavement". No sieve-plate present. Parapores may be laterally interconnected. They may lead into irregular cavities or fistulose chamberlets between a paraporous wall-layer and the pavement. The partition between a main chamber lumen and a fistulose chamberlet, wherever present, is always paraporous. Compare: pores; pits. | '''PARAPORES''' (canaliculi; pseudopores, pars auct.) is in agglutinated foraminifera: straight to tortuous tubular spaces, round to polygonal in section, more or less normal to the test surface, coated and closed off internally by the organic lining.
