Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Hyatt 1900Primitive forms have tuberculated costae and keeled venters, the keel probably having originated by coalescence of a median line of tubercles. Sutures usually very simple, sometimes similar to Pulehellidae, and. first lateral saddles apt to be
unequally bifid. Adventitious saddles appear in some forms, but arise by division of the outer sides of the first laterals instead of from their inner sides as in Placenticeratidae.
