- Diagnosis
- A quartet of spore-like organic-walled microfossils comprised
of two pairs (dyads) adpressed laterally; spore attachment within
dyad pairs characterized by thickened medial zone without distinct
suture; dyad margins may show a medial cleft or be smooth, effectively
forming an ellipsoidal margin; suture between dyad pairs distinct and
complete, but not typically characterized by thickenings; walls of medium but
variable thickness, often characterized by ropey folds; individual
spore-bodies subspherical flattened to subcircular ranging to hemispherical
in outline.
