Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. G. Hertlein 1925Shell of medium size. Right valve practically smooth, ornamented, however, by fine concentric lines of growth, and close to the beaks also by fine, faint, radiating ribs which, however, disappear at the umbo ; ventral margin smooth ; interior of the shell ornamented by about 19 dichotomous ribs; ears about equal and concentrically sculptured ; a slight groove showing where the ears meet the margins of the shell ; a slight byssal notch present on the anterior ear. Left valve fairly smooth, ornamented interiorly much as right, a depressed area which is lower than the margins extends from the beaks to about one-half the height of the shell ; ears slightly concave, ornamented by concentric lines of growth. Altitude 56 mm. ; longitude 57 mm. ; diameter of right valve approximately 14 mm. ; apical angle of right valve approximately 97°.
