Description. A series of two or more semicircular or stellate fans of radiating burrows that connect via a stemlike burrow. Connecting burrow extends from either a central or lateral position to connect at the base of the succeeding fan. Thus, fans line up in either a zigzag or linear, tandemlike fashion. Length of the connecting burrow is variable but generally at least 2-5 mm longer than other burrows. As a result, individual fans are most commonly separated from other fans and do not overlap. However, in some specimens, connecting burrow is the same length or only slightly longe; than other burrows, resulting in some overlap of successive fans. All burrows in a fan converge to a point at the base that is V- or U-shaped.
