Description
Original diagnosis after Sansom, Davies, Coates, Nicoll, & Ritchie, 2012 [15309]: Fish bearing small scales with three prominent ridges on the external surface: one each in lateral and medial positions producing a broad radiating ornament to the crown and the posterior margin of the crown is prominently scalloped. The scale base is simple and distinguished from the crown by a shallow constriction forming a neck region.
