__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''STELLAR CHAMBERLET '''  - an umbilical closed segment of the chamber separated from the main [[chamber lumen]] by a folded inner lamella, the stellar septulum (Fig. 1, Fig. 2 K-M). Communicates with its own main chamber lumen through a gap between [[septulum]] and the adjacent [[coil]] and with the preceding chamberlet through the umbilical part of the preceding [[foramen]].
