Original Description

Radial spines sixty to eighty, club-shaped, four to six times as broad at the distal as at the basal end. Eight primary spines arise from the eight corners of the regular, cubiform medullary shell, the remainder either springing as lateral branches from the three denticulate corners of the former, or arising within the spongy framework, which is much denser and darker in the central than in the peripheral part. The free distal end of each spine is one-third as long as the radius.

Diameter of the sphere 0.9, of the central cube 0.02; length of the spines 0.15, distal thickness 0.02. [dimensions in mm]
