Discs made of 1024 mucronate fertile rays with evidence of both corona superior and inferior. Each ray, quite flat in transverse section, contains 1435 mineralized gametangia (cysts). The mineralized cyst layer, 2025 μm thick, is made of fibrous aragonite crystals set perpendicular to the wall surface. A delicate extracellular calcareous layer sometimes envelopes the fertile rays (
