Original Description
Cortical shell thick walled, little larger than the outer medullary shell, whilst the inner is only one-tenth as large. Pores of all three shells irregular, roundish, or subcircular, twice to three times as broad as the bars, on an average twice as large in the outer and middle as in the inner shell. Sixty to eighty short conical radial spines on the surface, about as long as the diameter of the inner shell, and one-fourth as broad at the base. Radial proportion of the three spheres = 1: 9: 10.
Diameter of the outer shell 400 to 500µm, middle 350 to 450µm, inner 50 to 60µm.
