Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
I. Goñi et al. 2023Circular to slightly elliptical, biconvex, phosphatic plates. The outer side displays a stellate depression network that creates a series of elevations. The outer face of each elevation is slightly concave. The central elevation is the largest elevation and can occupy up to 30% of the entire width of the plate. A second large circular elevation is delimited from the brim of the plate and is typically divided into one or two concentric rings of smaller elevations by the depression network. Small tubercles are present on the brim when the outer hyaline layer is preserved (Goñi et al. 2023).
