Porównanie

This species was included  into Falcitornoceras, referring to furrows on pyritic internal moulds, although its juvenile conch ornamentation remains unknown. Such furrows, preserved also on a juvenile conch from Łagów, are typical of several earliest Famennian tornoceratids and may just be a primitive (plesiomorphic) feature. Gundolficeras rotersi Korn, 2002 from the Platyclymenia annulata Event stratum at Kattensiepen in the Rhenish Slate Mountains does not differ from the Holy Cross Mountains material in conch form an suture. Growth lines are not preserved in my material and this precludes reliable comparison.
