Diagnoza

Porównanie

The few fragmentary platform elements from the Mójcza Limestone do not enable reconstruction of the actual shape of adult elements. Judging from known specimens of the genus from Estonia and erratic boulders of Baltic origin they are extremely variable in respect to the ornamentation of the crown. On the other hand the pattern of ontogenetic transformations, expressed mainly in the branching of lobes, seems to be relatively stable and uniform in all known  morphotypes. It cannot be excluded that at least some specimens reprsent a species of Dzikodus Zhang, 1998 .
