Surface covering ranges from bare and smooth to thick dermis embedded with granulation. Abactinal surface with widely variable range of plate morphologies ranging from discrete polygonal abutted plates, to shaft-like tabulae or paxillae to imbricate or irregularly arranged plates embedded in thick dermis. Plate surface ranges from smooth and bare to a highly variable range of primary ornamentation, such as large spines as well as smaller accessory structures, primarily granules, but also including spinelets, surficial plates and pedicellariae. Pedicellariae present or absent, ranging from bivalve, paddle-like, forceps-shaped and etc. When large pedicellariae present, these tend to be more consistent in location, presence.</paragraph>
