Description(s)
Wisshak, 2017:
Emended diagnosis. Rosette of irregular to sub-circular outline, with loosely spaced galleries radiating from the centre in meandering fashion, ramifying with widened bi- and trifurcations of various angles, only rarely forming anastomoses. In larger individuals, additional tiers may develop.
