Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. A. Darragh 2011 | The fossula of specimens of Bernaya media (Deshayes) (figs 1A, 4B, F) from Bois du Roi, Auvers (MNHN), is large, subrectangular and concave. On the interior side, it is bounded by a prominent lateral ridge, in which there is a prominent anterior notch. The terminalridge of the anterior canal extends into the interior of the aperture and merges with the lateral ridge of the fossula. A well-developed groove adjacent to the terminal ridge runs down into the fossula. This groove is partly obstructed by a columellar tooth, which merges with the terminal ridge. |
