Calcarina baculatus? Image source: Cushman, J.A. 1921. Foraminifera of the Philippine and adjacent seas. Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus. 100(4).  

Species differing from C. hispida by exuberant outgrowths at the extremity of the strong hispid, bifurcating spines, which give the test a plumose appearance; test more delicate than in C. hispida, particularly in the last-formed chambers.
