Type description

van Geel 1978: Flat elements with a distinct dark midrib, 1000-1500 µm long and 200-350 µm broad in the middle. Proximal part broken off from the animal body. Surface covered with small hairs, 8-28 µm long. Margins covered with rows of 400-500 µm long hairs (not always preserved). Some of the Type 108 remains with a proximal circular structure, 250-440 µm in diameter and a very dark central part (108.b and 108.d). Pairs of the Type 108 macrofossils were found several times (joined by their proximal parts; see 108.a).
