Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis. Boring where the aperture neck is short and thin when preserved. Chamber depth is shallow and the chambers roughly hemispherical, with an arc length of approximately 180degrees. Branches extending beyond the main hemispherical chamber are very thin but rounded at the ends. Primary radial symmetry sits in the centre of the chamber, and there is secondary radial symmetry at the ends of the branches, which form clusters and are irregular in length
