Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1974This medium-sized, solitary, ceratoid Cystiphylloides has large tabellae not sharply set off from large interior dissepiments; few recognizable septal crests are present in transverse sections, but the deep calice has weak, raised, discontinuous radial striations. Both large and small dissepiments are in the peripheral band.
