Diagnosis

Representative of Neomeris with an elongated cylindrical thallus and densely set whorls with laterals set in quincunxes. Calcification formed in distal part of the whorls around fertile ampullae only, resulting in a wide central cavity. Primary laterals, basal parts of the secondaries and their distal swellings (cortex) unknown (not calcified); fertile ampullae ovoidalsubspherical in shape and individually calcified including the membrane and thin sheath around the ampulla, usually overgrown during diagenesis.
