Hedbergella is an extinct genus of planktonic foraminifera from the Cretaceous, described by Loeblich and Tappan, 1961, as:

Test free, trochospiral, biconvex, umbilicate, periphery rounded with no indication of keel or poreless margin; chambers globular to ovate; sutures depressed, radial, straight or curved; wall calcareous, finely perforate, radial in structure, surface smooth to hispid or rugose; aperture an interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical arch commonly bordered above by a narrow lip or spatulate flap, ... Includes species otherwise similar to Praeglobotruncana but which lack a keel or poreless margin, hence is regarded as a separate genus rather than as a subgenus of Praeglobotruncana as by Banner and Blow (1959).

Hedbergella was named by Brönnimann and Brown in 1958, and is included in the family Hedbergellidae and the suborder Globigerinina.[1] Hedbergella ranges through most of the Cretaceous, from the Hauterivian to the Maastrichtian at the end.

[edit ]

Genera possibly related closely to Hedbergella are Asterohedbergella , Costellagerina , and Whiteinella , which are included with Hedbergella in the Hedbergellinae, but which have shorter ranges.

Asterohedbergella, which has a stellate outline, is from the Upper Cretaceous (M. to U. Cenomanian) of Israel. Costellagerina, which has a lobate outline, is from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian to Campanian) and is cosmopolitan. Whiteinella, which has a pustulate surface, is from the U. Cretaceous (M. Cenomanian to M. Turonian), and is also cosmopolitan.

The species Muricohedbergella delrioensis , originally described as Globigerina cretacea var. delrioensis, was formerly accepted as Hedbergella delrioensis.[2]
