Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis. Boring where the chamber consists of a central column connected to a tapering aperture neck that is difficult to distinguish from the chamber. Thin filamentous branches extend laterally from the central column of the chamber. Symmetry is linear, rather than radial, in the vertical section, along the main column of the chamber. In horizontal cross section symmetry would be radial around the columnar chamber
