The somewhat clearer plating and tuberculation patterns in the new material also reveal the presence of a large, adradially placed primary tubercle on each of the outer 37 plates of the oral interambulacra, as well as an interradially placed tubercle in the outer 12 plates. The primary tubercles are seen to be much smaller on the aboral surface (except for a few near the ambitus) but numerous, with two distinct series running down each end of the main plates in the ambulacra, and one or two tubercles fairly regularly on each plate in the interambulacra but forming no distinct series.
