Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. A. Jell and J. S. Jell 1999Cup subspherical, with widely spaced fine granular ornament. Basals 3, irregularly shaped, each asymmetrical with a distal projection at sutures between radials. Radials (or inferradials) 3, large, making up most of the cup; arm-bearing plates variable in number (7-14), with lateral projections distally; articulating facets flat, radially serated in some specimens (probably due to weathering); pararadials 2-9.
