Description Description: Test attached, compressed and scale-like, ventral side conforming to the surface to which it is attached, dorsal side irregular and the earlier coils obscured; consisting of a proloculus and elongate tubular second chamber, Definitely spiral, later ones bending back and forth about the periphery of the earlier ones, often partially involute; sutures distinct on the ventral side; wall calcareous, imperforate, the exterior roughened; aperture formed by the open end of the tubular chamber. Occurrence: Holotype (USNM Cushman Coll. 7688) from the Cisco Group [Graham fm., Virgilian], Texas. Bishop Cap (this study): early Morrowan (BC 3); late Atokan (BC 20a); and early Desmoinesian (BC 26, 27).
