- The type Prupuh Limestone in N.E. Java (448 KB). This sample is from a bed of calcarenite debris which occurs between beds of chalky limestone. In this image is a large, ?microspheric specimen of Miogypsinoides, elsewhere are smaller ?macrospheric members of the same genus. This dimorphism in the Miogypsinoides is only seen in the Early Miocene, as Late Oligocene members of the genus are of roughly equal size. Several specimens of Miogypsina are in this picture, as is the embryont of Eulepidina (near bottom, left of center)
