Extra details from original publication
This species differs from G. striata in the smaller, much com­pressed test, which is strongly carinate. It occurs mostly in the lower part of the Taylor marl, but specimens occur rarely in the Annona chalk and Wolfe City sand member of the Taylor. It is evidently the ancestral form of some of those species with compressed and carinate early stages. It was at first thought possible the young of some of the other species, but seems to be distinct.

Editors' Notes
Intermediate costae; sharply acute periphery; rugose ornamentation along median suture --Huber
