C. Lochman 1952This species is represented by 10 or more specimens from the Kootenia-Glossopleura zone. The holotype is a small, broken internal mold which is free from the matrix and shows the very characteristic transverse section. The paratypes consist both of other well preserved internal molds and three specimens showing the external surface.
