shape: trilobate or rounded triangular in outline. symmetry: radial (3-fold). apertures: three prominent, protruding aperture regions at the angles. wall structure: thick, distinct outer wall (exine) that appears continuous but thickened or flaring near the apertures. edge definition: sharp and well-defined margin. surface texture: appears relatively smooth to finely scabrate; heavy staining obscures finer sculpturing. pores or furrows: 3 broad furrows (colpi), likely colporate given the gaping appearance. internal contents: obscured by dense, opaque staining. color and staining: deep pink/magenta, indicating very strong uptake of stain. other notable features: viewed in polar orientation; the deep indentations between apertures give it a distinctly lobed appearance
