- Diagnosis
- Medium-size spheroidal to subconical gyrogonites with deeply truncate summits and narrowly rounded to pointed bases. Spiral ridges intercellular, fairly broad, flattened, irregular in thickness, somewhat knotty, with intercellular suture well marked. Spiral ridges flatten out as they turn onto summit area, forming a smooth area around upturned ends of spirals. Six or seven spiral ridges visible in a lateral view, occasional specimens with 5 or 8.
