D. F. Wright and U. Toom 2017 | A small ‘taxocrinid’-grade crinoid with an elongate, conical crown; medium bowl shaped calyx. Rays form ridges in plan view, forming a pentastellate outline. Radianal plate below the C ray radial. Anal X large; above and to the left of radianal; supporting additional vertically stacked plates, culminating in a sac rising above the calyx. Non-posterior interrays comprising large, proximal interradial plate, supporting numerous smaller plates above. Proximal interradial plates positioned between primibrachials laterally, in sutural contact with radials below. Arms branch at least twice, branching isotomously in all divisions. Lower primibrachials fixed, arms becoming free at primibrachial two or three. |
