Original Description
Shell composed of five concentric spheres, with the radial proportion = 1: 3: 8: 10: 13. The two medullary shells with small regular, circular pores of the same breadth as the bars. Inner cortical shell (third shell) with large regular, circular pores, four times as broad as the bars, hexagonally framed. From each hexagon-corner arises a thin bristle-shaped radial by-spine, which at a fixed distance from the centre is united with the middle cortical shell (fourth shell), which has very small circular pores. The beginning of the fifth shell (outermost) is indicated by six small reticula, produced by the six main spines at equal distances from the centre. All five shells are united by six prismatic radial beams, ending outside in pyramidal furrowed spines.
Size: Diameter of the five shells - (A) 0.2, (B) 0.15, (C) 0.12, (D) 0.045, (E) 0.015.
