|---|---|---|
| J. S. Peel and V. Berg-Madsen 1988 | A salterellid agmatan in which the slowly expanding conch contains a cylindrical apertural cavity about half the length of the conch. The central tube is clearly demarcated from the apertural cavity and is usually more than half its width. The wall of the conch is apparently thick relative to the narrow, inner cone of lami- nated deposits. Shell structure and ornamentation are not known, although the internal lamina- ted deposits may have been aragonite. |
