The Anomalinidae are a group of Foraminifera known from the Upper Triassic to the present (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b).
Characters (from Loeblich & Tappan 1964b): Test trochospiral to nearly planispiral, evolute on one or both sides; chambers simple; wall calcareous, coarsely perforate, granular in structure, bilamellar; primary aperture interiomarginal equatorial or somewhat extending onto spiral or umbilical sides, additional peripheral apertures may be present.
