DIAGNOSIS. — “The skeleton has two shells, the outer spongy, and the inner, bubble-like and loosely but complexly interwoven, or latticed but the lattice not completely two-dimensionally woven. Outer apophyses are weakly developed or remain as traces. Inner apophyses either form an N-frame or remain as traces on some rays. Radial beams are variable in number; many are furcated or have branches. A six-rayed internal spicule with a short median bar is located eccentrically.” ( Won 1997b: 390).
