Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
E.S. Cobbold 1921 | Small, tapering, annulated shells of circular or sub-polygonal section, consisting of two layers, the timer one of medium thickness, the outer very thin and chitinous. Annulations formed by pronounced raised ridges encircle the tube, and divide it into sub-equal parts. | |
E. Landing 1984 | Lapworthellids characterized by skeletons composed of highly variable sclerites with prominent transverse growth ridges; sclerites with or without 1) nodose or granular microsculpture on transverse sculpture, 2) longitudinal (radial) ridges, 3) adventitious septa. |
