Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
M. D. Sutton et al. 2012 | Series of seven similar unarticulated valves, lacking ventral articulamentum. The head valve is shorter and much lower in height; the tail valve is taller. Valves with weak anterior jugal embayment, weakly obtuse apical angle and jugal angle near 90u. Posterolateral margins are weakly concave and serrated. All valves are mixoperipheral, with ventral apical area extending to over 25% of valve length. Valves lack ornament. The foot is absent and the girdle complete ventrally while open anteriorly and posteriorly; it bears concavo–convex blade-like spicules. A gill array of at least four pairs of elements is contained within the long posterior cavity. |
