| R. L. Batten 1972 | Planispiral to truncated, turbiniform shells with a selenizone having well-developed margins situated at or just below the periphery; early rounded whorls orthostrophic to planispiral; sutures sharply defined, deep; with or without nodes on upper and lower whorl surfaces; suture contact usually well above selenizone, concealing it; selenizone margins asymmetrical cords, concave above and below selenizone; slit usually deep; widely phaneromphalus; usually no ornament other than nodes and growth lines. |
