Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D.K. Pandey et al. 2012Small fragment of the body chamber of a moderately large, evolute, and slightly depressed form. Whorl section subquadrangular with slightly arched lanks and rounded venter (Fig. 57A). Ornamentation on body chamber consists of prorsiradiate, thick, sharp, distant, biplicate ribs. Primaries originate from inner part of umbilical margin in a rursiradiate fashion and then turn forward, branching slightly below the ventrolateral region (Fig. 57B). Secondaries cross the venter straight or with very slight forward-directed convexity. Umbilical wall short, smooth, steep.
