Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Wright et al. 1996Early whorls slightly inflated to slightly compressed; more or less flatsided; distant primary ribs with umbilical bullae, strong inner and weaker outer ventrolateral tubercles; irregular, weak, branching or intercalated secondary ribs bearing outer ventrolateral tubercles only; flat venter with or without slight, transverse constrictions. Later whorl height increasing, with square or rectangular section; ribs weaken and may be looped on sides; outer ventrolateral tubercles weakening or disappearing. Suture with moderately short to long elements.
