Description.

Solitary turbinate coral with an elliptical outline. Septa made of small trabeculae, in a regular hexameral symmetry, not connected to each other. Septal lateral faces strongly dentated. Columella parietal. Wall septothecal. Endotheca unknown.

Remarks.

The assignation of this specimen to the Rayasmiliidae is preliminar. It differs from this family by strongly ornamented lateral septal faces and the septo-thecal wall, but coincides in the septal outline, septal microstructure, and regular symmetry.
