Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Billings 1859 | Description Annulated tapering at the rate of about one line to the inch section circular septa gently convex eight in one inch at a diameter of eight lines more numerous towards the apex siphuncle cylindrical a little excentric its diameter full one third the diameter of the whole shell The annulations are rather prominent rounded ridges with regularly concave spaces between distant one line and a half from each other in a specimen eight lines in diameter The specimen figured is silicified and it is impossible to say whether the surface is striated or not Three specimens have been collected and all are a little curved The septa increase rapidly in number towards the smaller extremity of the shell and it would appear also that in some individuals the distance is variable In one specimen where the diameter is five lines there are five septa in half an inch but in the next half inch there are eight The position of the siphuncle is also a little variable Resembles externally the large curved O subarcuatum Hall of the Chazy limestone but that species has more distant septa and a siphuncle composed of large oval bead like segments Locality and formation Occurs at the Mingan Islands and also on Lot 12 Con 12 Township of Godmanchester Calciferous Sandrock Collectors Sir WE Logan T Richardson | |
| A. Hyatt 1900 | Annulated orthoceracones and cyrtoceracones without longitudinal ridges. Siphuncle large |
