Discussion:

This is a common and widely distributed species in the late
Carboniferous and early Permian of European Russia.

Viewer comments:

The small ribs, small number of narrow spines and combination of
strongly curved juvenile shell and little curved adult shell are
typical of this genus. The blister-like swelling shown in the closeup
view of the shell is a spine base and only a few other spine bases
can be seen on the shell.
