The specimen is an entirely septated internal mould showing an evolute coiling. The whorl section is subquadratic, the flanks are flat. Neither the umbilical edge, nor the umbilical wall, is developed. The sculpture is made of two rows of tubercles, periumbilical and ventrolateral. The periumbilcal tubercles are rather bullae, i.e. they are shortly stretched along the height, whereas the ventrolateral tubercles have the aspect of spines. An extremely weak rib links the tubercles of the two rows. The preservation of the early whorls does not allow precise measurement of the diameter where tubercles begin. Nevertheless, the first visible ventrolateral spine occurs at a diameter of almost
