Ornamentation and Structure
LM ornamentation LM: -, nexine: -, sexine: -, SEM ornamentation SEM: perforate, suprasculpture SEM: -, TEM tectum: semitectate, infratectum: -, foot layer: -, endexine: -, intine: -, wall peculiarities: -, supratectal element: -
Miscellaneous

Annotations: Many aborted monads, often only a single or two fertile monads remaining thus forming pseudotriads, pseudodyads and pseudomonads. Aborted monads cup-shaped when dry.
