Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. F. Budd et al. 2012Macromorphology: meandroid (uniserial), with medium valleys (4–15 mm); little or no coenosteum; continuous, trabecular columella; welldeveloped epitheca; moderately developed tabular endotheca; small septal lobes (Fig. 11G, H, 16C–F).

Micromorphology: regular tricorne teeth with pointed tips and elliptical bases orientated transverse to the septal plane; smooth interarea of teeth; spiked granules organized in lines; teeth in different septal cycles and across individual septa similar in size and shape (Fig. 20J–O).

Microstructure: septothecal wall with trabeculothecal elements; weak clusters of calcification centres within costosepta, which are connected by medial lines; no carinae; fibrous thickening deposits containing layers (Fig. 24J–O).
