Current identification: Cromyocarpus quadrifarivus
Original Description
Shell composed of four concentric shells, two ellipsoidal cortical shells, and two spherical medullary shells. Proportion of their main axes = 10: 8: 3: 2. Pores of the two cortical shells irregular, roundish, twice to four times as broad as the bars. Pores of the two medullary shells subregular, circular, about the same size as the bars. Outer surface covered with numerous conical radial spines, about half as long as the main axis, half as broad at the base as the inner most shell.
Size: Major axis of the outer cortical shell 0.2, of the inner 0.15; equatorial axis of the former 0.16, of the latter 0.12; diameter of the outer medullary shell 0.06, of the inner 0.04; pores of the cortical shells 0.01 to 0.02, of the medullary shells 0.004 to 0.008, bars 0.003 to 0.006; length of the radial spines 0.1, basal breadth 0.02.
