[Ruzhentsev, 1959]: The shell is pulley-shaped, with broad whorls, with flat or weakly convex ventral side, and no keel. The
umbo is more or less broad, very deep, with a strongly delimited margin. The ventral lobe has length the same as the primary
umbilical. The following two lobes are well developed, with big scallops in the base.

[Ruzhentsev 1962, p. 89, Araxoceras:Conch felloe- or wheel-like, whorls wide (width/diameter 0.5-0.9), venter flat, slightly
bulged or roof-shaped.  Umbilicus wide (umbilical diameter/shell diameter 0.2-0.4), with a strongly protruding rim.  Main lobes
deep, the ventral lobe not shorter than first umbilical.  First saddle wide, divided by ventral rim in two parts.  First umbilical lobe
extremely tight. Second umbilical lobe well developed.]
