Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Merriam 1974These solitary curved turbinate and curved trochoid to subpatellate Halliidae have a broad and commonly very deep calice. Cardinal septum is on the convex side in the long narrow fossula. Alar fossu- lae are defined, but no counter fossula. Major septa ex- tend to the axis; septa are denticulate at distal edges. Some species have carinate septa. Tabulae are incomplete, distally arched. Dissepiments are present near the periphery in the late growth stages.
