Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. A. Cobban et al. 1989Moderately involute with trapezoidal whorls. Massive umbilical bullae or large, rounded, nodate tubercles give rise to coarse, rectiradiate or prorsiradiate primary ribs, singly or in pairs. Secondary ribs arise below midflank, and all ribs either cross the venter transversely or they may be interrupted at the middle of the venter. Low, blunt ventrolateral tubercles are present on all ribs, or there may just be broad, bullate ventrolateral swellings. Suture is fairly simple, with moderately broad, bifid E/L, broad and bifid L, and narrow L/U2 and U2.
