Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. E. Isaacson et al. 1976 | Exterior.--Shell unequally ventri-biconvex; shell outline subelliptical, with subcircular cross section. Length approximately equal to twice the width. Ventral beak prominent, strongly incurved. Pedicle foramen small. Exterior smooth, with one or two distinct growth lamellae. Anterior commissure rectimarginate to faintly uniplicate. Shell material greatly thickened (up to 6 mm in large specimens) at posterior end.
Ventral interior.-Dental lamellae long, very slightly divergent, extending approximately onequarter valve length, and attached to valve floor throughout length. Pedicle muscle field deeply impressed. Paired diductor scars extend one-third valve length. Dorsal interior.-Disjunct hinge plates rising from posterior end of myophragm, which is low, rounded, extending over one-half the valve length. Short crural plates extending ventrally from hinge plates. Cardinal process obscured. Muscle field broad, well impressed, and separated by principal myophragm and other smaller myophragms. |
