DESCRIPTION
Shell ovoid in transverse section, with ventral flexure on a salient ventral edge. Inner aragonitic layer thick. Ligamentary ridge visible. Presence of small and rounded to quadrangular AT, PT and associated sockets.Wide AAC-LV lying anterodorsally. Very small PMC. AAC-LV/BC and PMC/BC very thick, on which are rooted the myophores. PM-LV on a tongue-shaped myophoral blade along a wide and narrow PAC-LV.
DISCUSSION
These shells cannot be placed precisely in a species due to incompleteness of the sections. The only visible PAC-LV, while broken, seems undivided, suggesting that it is a different Sellaea species than Sellaea stryx .
