Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Petalaxis with corallite diameter 5 to 7 mm and 16 to 19 major septa that closely approach the columella but seldom reach it and extend into the dissepimentarium, commonly being attached to the cor-allite wall. Minor septa well developed. Columella a sim-ple axial plate connected to counter or cardinal septum. Dissepimentarium weakly lonsdaleoid, CQmposed of 1 to 4 rows of mostly small inflated dissepiments. Tabulae mostly incomplete, flat, concave or convex, horizontal, and irregularly spaced 0.25 to 0. 75 mm apart. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0. 7 to 0.8. Increase peripheral.
