posterior extremity of each valve are situated two large, polished bead-like tubercles— 
one near the dorsal, the other near the ventral surface. Seen from above, the outline 
is somewhat boat-shaped, subtruncate behind, and with wide produced keel in front ; 
greatest width situated in the middle, and equal to less than half the length. End

Panopea-beds of Kiel and Edeghem. In general character it is very nearly allied to 
C. leioptycha, Reuss, but differs in minor details, being more tumid, less angular in its 
contours, and wanting in longitudinal ribs.
