Encyclopedia
Abadehella was a genus
of rhizaria
of the Abadehellidae family that existed during the late Permian
period. The length of existence of the Abadehella genus was fairly short, historically, but had a wide geographical range. The genus extended across the "lowermost member of the Zewan Formation in Kashmir
, the Palaeofusulina limestone in Malaysia, the Lepidolina multiseptata limestone in Cambodia
and Japan
, and the Lepidolina kumaensis Zone in Japan." Abadehella was first described and recorded by Okimura and Ishii in 1975. They said that the structure of the genus was "conical with numerous whorls" and that the inner chambers were "subdivided by regularly spaced pillars".
