Description
Solitary, curved, conical, but in some straight or curved and cylindrical in late stages, major septa in early stages long but except for counter septum commonly not reaching axis, dilated, particularly in cardinal quadrants, but in late stages thin and straight or slightly concave toward cardinal septum, axially free, becoming shorter as growth proceeds, cardinal septum short, in open fossula on convex side of corallum, counter septum long, tabulae convex, commonly complete, minor septa short, may be discontinuous, dissepimentarium narrow, normal, or, with failure of minor septa, of inosculating dissepiments, or, in zones of rejuvenescence, lonsdaleoid. [HUDSON, 1945a, p. 195, states that no zaphrentoid stage occurs in ontogeny of type species.]
