scale bar is 4 mm
Like Carneyella and Curvitriordo, Isorophus has relatively long and curved ambulacra, one of which is curved clockwise. Isorophus is distinguished by the presence of ambulacral plates that form double alternating biseries, rather than a single series as in Carneyella or a triple series as in Curvitriordo.
