Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D.K. Pandey et al. 2013Shell incomplete with only parts of phragmocone and body chamber preserved (septation ceases between diameters of 65 to 85 mm), evolute, compressed. Whorl section squarish to suboval with low umbilical wall, moderately distinct umbilical edge, and slightly arched flanks merging smoothly into rounded venter. Ornamentation consists of long, prorsiradiate, straight primary ribs, originating rursiradiately at the umbilical suture and branching low, at around two-thirds of flank height. Occasionally, a single primary or free secondary rib crosses the venter and continues into a secondary rib on the other side of the shell. Generally, secondary ribs cross the venter with smooth forward-directed sinuosity. Constrictions rare, shallow, on outer whorl.
