Descriptions and remarks
Diagnosis– Biogenic cavity characterized by an irregular, semielliptical outline that lies parallel to the surface of the substrate. The margin may or may not be crenulated; where crenulation is absent it may be smooth or may possess a raised rim. The outer margin may or may not overhang the cavity. The cavity does not totally penetrate the substrate, but ends in a relatively shallow depression.
