Two examples from the Dictyonema-beds (Grey Shales) appear to 
be identical with the Shropshire fossil. A fragmentary valve, too 
imperfect for precise identification, from the Lowest Black Shales, 
is possibly a small example of the same species.

I have seen only one specimen, an internal cast, of this obscure 
species, collected by Prof. Groom from the Black Shales. In size 
and shape it agrees fairly well with the description and figure in 
Holl’s paper. 
? Formerly all the Cambrian shales of the Malvern district were included 
under the term of ‘ Black Shales.’
