Posterodorsal slope flattened to slightly concave toward posterior end of dorsal margin, set off by a broad rounded ridge radiating from the umbones to posteroventral end of shell. Cardinal area rather narrow and elongated. About 28 radial ribs (26 to 30) at each valve, as wide as the interstices, mainly granulated on left valve. Periostracum well developed, concentrically striated, scaly to spiky in the interstices of ribs. Internal margins with strong crenulations corresponding with the external radial ribbing.
