Diagnosis Test large, attached, formed by a few encrusting layers of chambers that are closely appressed, polygonal in outline, and somewhat inflated, with convex upper surface, chambers of successive layers alternating in position, groups or clusters of chambers may form knobs that are slightly elevated above the general surface; wall calcareous, of fibrous calcite, without perforations other than the large apertural pores; aperture consists of large pores on the upper surface of the chambers.
