Observations
| Observations: | Sarah Spaulding and Rhea Esposito |
|---|---|
| Length: | 27-61 |
| Width: | 7-10 |
| Striae: | 18-21.5 per 10 micrometers at the center; 19-23.5 per 10 micrometers at the ends |
Description:
Valves linear-lanceolate, narrowing towards the produced, capitate endings that flex slightly upwards; dorsal margin parallel to slightly convex; ventral margin slightly concave. Raphe eccentric, stretching along the valve margin and biarcuate (closer to the ventral margin centrally than near the poles); proximal raphe endings simple; distal raphe endings hooked towards the dorsal margin. Striae more widely spaced at the center of the valve; striae slightly radiate in the center, becoming parallel to convergent towards the ends. Fibulae (keel puncta) variable in size and spacing.
