The Textulariacea is a superfamily of Middle Jurassic to Holocene agglutinated benthic textulariid Foraminifera. Tests are trochospiral, triserial, or biserial in early stages; later may be biserial or uniserial. Walls are agglutinated, made of gathered material cemented together and are canaliculate - contain micro-tubular cavities extending between the inner and outer surfaces.
The Textulariacea comprises eight families, as indicated.
