Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. S. Nicoll and J. H. Shergold 1991 | Multimembrate apparatus of at least five elements. Elements are modified conifonn types with a broad shovelshaped expansion of the anterior face and little or no growth of the posterior face. Shape of the individual elements is variable. The elements have a large basal plate and attachment area with a small basal pit located near the apex. In those elements with a prominent cusp the cavity extends into the large cusp denticle near the apex of the element. The oral surface is covered with short solid spines or denticles. On the distal edges of the outer surface the spines are discrete, but toward the apex the spines may be laterally appressed. Spine length and packing density are variable. Some elements have a distinct cusp. White matter may be present in the spines of some species. |
