| A. Lamont 1935 | Shell sub-semicircular, plano-convex; maximum width near hinge-line; cardinal angles not produced. Ventral valve gently convex, with small sharp beak subtending hingearea which lies nearly in plane of valve. Interior of ventral valve: the teeth are short triangular thickenings fused to the hinge-line; diductor scars indistinctly bounded, flabelliform, divergent, about quarter the length of the valve; adductors small, indistinct, separated by fine median ridge. Surface of valve with fine regular radial threads—about 10 threads in a width of 1 mm.—which are bent back laterally, and one strong median rib. There is extremely fine concentric striation. A few concentric rugae are present, strongest at a little less than half the length of the radii. Dorsal valve almost fiat; beak inconspicuous; hinge-area very narrow. Fine radial ornament. Interior with delicate anterior walls to dental sockets curving back almost parallel with hinge-line; cardinal process of two divergent lobes (Fig. 2). |
