Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D.B. Blake et al. 2020 | Palasterinid? with extraxial abactinal skeleton of proportionately large ossicles, these possibly somewhat irregularly arranged rather than aligned and clearly differentiated.
Most abactinals with paxilla-shaft that bears expanded spinose terminus; other ossicles perhaps lack paxilla-shaft. Dorsal disk ossicular arrangement uncertain, no indication of clear cycles. More lateral abactinals crescentic with papular? reentrant directed toward arm midline. Very small elliptical madreporite present. Inferomarginals small, paxilla-shaft present. |
