Seldom above an inch and a quarter wide. It differs 
from the last by having only half the number of ribs, 
and in not having the regular concentric striae which 
appear between the ribs in that. When young the 
ribs are but a little raised, although the scales are then 
large : a few obscure rays sometimes appear between 
the ribs. 
This is one of those few shells which occur in several 
strata : it is found in Clay belonging to the Oolite near 
Bath (fig. 5.) ; in the Bath or Great Oolite at Hampton, 
Gloucestershire, and Bradford, Wiltshire ; above the 
Oolite at Ancliffe ; in the Cornbrash at Chatley (figs. 
3, & 4.), and in the Oolite Limestone at Malton.
