Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. W. Amsden 1964 | Elongate, biconvex shells without a well-defined fold and sulcus. They are moderately large, with fragmentary specimens suggesting a maximum length of between 40 and 50 mm. The pedicle beak is fairly prominent and the interareas appear to be poorly developed. Both valves are costate, four to five ribs occupying a space of 5 mm. The pedicle valve has a well-developed spondylium supported on a median septum which extends almost the complete Length of the valve (St. Joseph, 1938, text-fig. 10, pl. 5, figs. 9, 11). In the brachial valve, the apparatus is tripartite with long, rod-like brachial processes supported on subparallel and discrete outer plates; on the valve illustrated in text-fig. 4, the outer plates extend forward at least 8 mrn. The brachial processes are overlain by long inner plates. |
