Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Kozur and W. Sadeddin 1990Outline irregular with large lobes, but only one, rarely two long spines. Central pore large, hidden for the most part below the broad, but low stirrup. The central pore is surrounded by a ring of 8 small roundish pores. Further small pores lie outside this pore-ring, especially at the base of the lobes and of the spine and therefore 12-14 pores are present.
