Diagnosis Test trochospiral, lenticular to planoconvex, chambers increasing gradually in size, internal partition slightly curved, present in all chambers or may be resorbed during later development, extending from the margin of the apertural opening nearly or completely to the base of the chamber against the previous whorl, sutures slightly curved, commonly limbate to strongly elevated, periphery angular to carinate; wall calcareous, aragonitic, finely perforate, surface smooth to strongly sculptured; aperture lateromarginal, adjacent to the peripheral keel on the umbilical side, closed with shell material as the new chamber is added, later formed intercameral foramen oblique, oval and areal or may be interiomarginal.
