Description Test almost equally biconvex, thickness approximately half the maximal diameter. A fissured plug fills the umbilicus and it is surrounded by a deep spiral depression; sutures are entirely fissured to the periphery, with a slight fish-bone pattern along the sutures between the older chambers. The wall is generally covered with pustules or beads over the whole surface. At the spiral side the evolute sutures are fissured only close to the periphery, the chambers are either covered with small beads, or smooth with coarse pores; the earlier whorls are not clearly visible. The periphery is rounded, not lobate. The aperture is probably a slit at the base of the apertural face from the periphery extending in umbilical direction. [details]
