- Gyrogonites fairly large, ovoid, and subcylindrical or barrel shaped with deeply truncate summit and broadly rounded to narrowly truncate base. Spiral ridges intercellular, low but sharp; cellular furrows almost filled and nearly flush; overall surface fairly smooth. Spirals about 70/* wide; 8 or 9 visible in a side view. Summit occupied by large circular depression that opens into a short throat; intercellular ridges project inward beyond apparent ends of spirals.
