Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| K. E. Mikhailov 1994 | Subspherical eggs with typically faveoloolithid shell structure (filispherulitic morphotype, multicanaliculate type of pore system; fig. la). External surface is smooth or rough (not sculptured). | |
| K. E. Mikhailov 1997 | Large subspherical eggs (150-165 mm in diameter) with typical faveoloolithid eggshell structure and smooth surface (rough when weathered). General range of eggshell thickness is 2.1-2.6 mm (full range is 1.8-2.6 mm). | |
