Descriptions and remarks
Emended diagnosis. Trace developed along a number of principal branches which curve in a regular manner, forming stretched and longitudinally buckled sheet-like fans or terminating in fine ramifications, producing a trace with a jagged or lobed outline. Branches may radiate from only one side of a main axis. Surface texture largely smooth, tips of branches connect to substrate surface.
