Description: It typically occurs as small, attractively shaped impression fossils.The body has a low, conical‐shaped central disk up to 2 cm in diameter, composed of short, thin monaxon (single axis) spicules that combine to give a thatch‐like appearance. Radiating from the disk there is a plethora of slender and discrete monaxon spicules, some of which are longer than the diameter of the disk itself.
