| The specimen is a large, broadly obconical sponge with broken base and subhemispherical uppermost oscular margin. |
|
| The oscular margin of the new genus is composed of diactines that are parallel to the main body axis. |
|
| The sponge's basal part, oscular part and side part occur at different levels within the mud layers, which might have resulted from rapid burial. |
|
| Circular parietal openings increase in size from the base to the oscular region. |
|
| Few long marginalia projecting from the oscular margin may belong to an oscular spicule rim. |
|
| Sponge heights and oscular diameters were measured using ImageTool. |
|
| Due to the physical structure of the choanocyte chambers and oscular chimneys, water can passively flow through the sponge without the choanocytes actively pumping. |
