- Spherical structures up to 1800 um in diameter with an average diameter of approximately 1200 um; containing a central spherical cavity up to 900 um in diameter with an average for the majority of the specimens of 600 um. The
wall consists of a single layer of radially elongated club-shaped cells 300-450 um in length with an average width of 55 um when measured near the outer surface of the sphere; tapering slightly to a width of 40 um at their inner ends. Cells compactly arranged. Outer surface of sphere smooth, no internal membranes or loose cells observed in the central cavity.
