Description(s)

Wisshak et al., 2008:

Description. Two morphologies with affinity to this taxon were encountered. Clusters of short round galleries of vertical to sub-vertical orientation, 10 to 15 µm in diameter, abruptly tapering towards uniformly thick galleries of only 2-3 µm in diameter (Fig. 9F-G) along which pronounced swellings, 3-10 µm in diameter occur (Fig. 9G-H).
