|---|---|---|
| W. Hantzschel 1975 | Simple U-tubes with spreite, generally protrusive, or somewhat oblique to bedding; “arms” more or less parallel, several cm apart; very rarely branched, occasional with lateral flaps; tubes relatively thick (1 cm or more), commonly initially vertical for several cm downward, then sharply bending at right angles; outer side of many tubes often marked by numerous striae interpreted as scratch markings indicative of crustaceans; pills of ellipsoidal excrements may be incorporated in walls or within tube; median line of U often curved; horizontal forms on bedding planes characteristically winding. |
