Original Description

Test compressed, composed of about 2 whorls, flattened dorsally, inner ends of chambers slightly elevated ventrally, periphery sharply angled, slightly keeled, entire in the young, becoming progressively more lobulated as growth proceeds; chambers few, distinct, 6 or 7 in the last-formed whorl, rapidly increasing in size as added; sutures distinct, radial and depressed on the ventral side, flush with the surface, limbate, and curved on the dorsal side; wall smooth, appearing finely granular; aperture an arched slit under the edge of the last-formed chamber, extending from the umbilicus to the periphery.

Extra details from original publication
This species differs from G. californica n. sp. in its much more flattened test and more rapid increase in size of chambers. It occurs commonly.
