<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="1">Corallum discoidal (GCD:H = 3.2-4.1), with a flat to convex and porous base. Closely packed septa, with coarse dentition giving the corallum a beaded appearance. Largest specimen examined (SAMC_A073164) 33.5 mm in CD and 8.0 mm in H. Calice circular, with serrated calicular margin. Costae ridged and thin, with closely packed low profile granules resulting in serrated costae. Costal bifurcations correspond to septal pattern. Intercostal spaces porous, thin at calicular margin and broaden towards epicentre of base. Synapticular bars connect each costa to neighbouring septa near calicular margin, and near epicentre of base synapticular bars connect adjacent costae. Marginal shelf low and narrow, reaching a maximum of 3 mm. Corallum white.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="1">Septa arranged in a typical micrabaciid fashion reaching ≤ 120 septa. S1-2 non-bifurcate and straight, with subsequent S3 leading to multiple bifurcations. S1 imperforate and extend from columella to calicular margin. S1 with vertical and slightly dentated axial margin. S2 also straight and extending to columella, but joined by S3 near columella. S2-3 fusions form porous delta bearing numerous spines. S3 bifurcates repeatedly. First bifurcation produces two S3i on either side of S2. Resultant edges of S3i adjacent to S2 bifurcates three more times in which the first bifurcation gives S3ii, second one S3iii, and the last gives two S3iv. S3i adjacent to S1 bifurcates four times, in which the first gives three S3iii and two S3iv. Axial edge of S1-2 and sometimes S3, join the spongy columella.</paragraph>
