Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Williams 1962Large, subquadrate Dinorthis with a convex brachial valve lacking a median sulcus and even developing a slight median fold and a plane to slightly concave pedicle valve, with a convex umbo and a slight antero-median sulcus; radial ornamentation consisting of narrowly rounded ribs separated by wide interspaces, especially medianly, where their mean wave-length is just over 1 mm. at 7.5 mm. anterior to the umbo, pattern coarsely costellate with secondary branches conspicuous in sectors I to V only after the 10-mm. growth-stage; dental lamellae well developed, narrowly divergent, and forming no more than posterior boundaries to a large, subtriangular muscle-field, longer than wide and strongly elevated on a platform of secondary shell substance; cardinal process massive, lobate, with crenulated posterior face and ankylosed together with stout, rounded brachiophore bases to a narrow notothyrial platform extended anteriorly as a short median ridge; dorsal adductor scars poorly impressed, not extending anteriorly for more than one-quarter the length of the valve.
