Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Isakar 1991 | Globose, whorl strongly involuted — last whorl enviloping earlier ones so that height of apreture corresponds to that of shell. In the specimens with have preserved the origin shell material closed umbilicus (PI. V, fig, 6). Narrow umbilicus is visible on internal mold only. Dorsal part of the body whorl roundly arched, sinus shallow, U-shaped. The aperture wide, about twice as wide as high. Interior of shell with some strong wrinkles, well developed on dorsal part (PI. IV, fig. 4). Specimens preserving the shell are everywhere rare. These shows, that the perfect shell was ornamented with fine concentric growth lines (18-19 lines on 2 mm) (PI. V, fig. 4) and even revolving lines, which surrounded the umbilical region. Growth lines traced sinus. Musculature unknown. |
