Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Zhao et al. 2024Macroscopic, triradially symmetric discoidal fossil characterized by three raised branches radiating outward from the center of the upper body surface and meeting at approximately 120  angles. The bases of the branches are slightly offset, resulting in a weak helical arrangement. The branches partition the disc into three lobes, each comprising a series of densely spaced finger-like ridges radiating outwards from the center of the disc.
