). The eggcase is biconvex with longitudinal striations on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface is often covered with a thin fibrous layer, although striations are present underneath. The eggcase is without keels, although the capsule margin has a rough edge, often with additional detritus laden fibres attached (presumably as a remnant of the mucus ‘mat’ that is associated with newly laid eggcases). The anterior apron is broad and straight, while the posterior apron is negligible. The anterior horns are marginally longer than the posterior horns, and often splay outwards.

c) was also examined. The capsule was intact, however the anterior apron extended far beyond the typical length, with the anterior horns encompassed by, and extending beyond, this unusually large apron. The eggcase length was 107.0 mm, and despite the posterior horns being slightly damaged, the total eggcase length was approximately 221.0 mm with the eggcase width ranging from 40.0 mm (anterior) to 41.0 mm (posterior). The two surfaces of the apron were fused shut, however there was a tear in the ventral surface at the anterior end of the capsule proper, making it unclear whether or not it had contained an embryo.
