(a) Life reconstruction; (b) whole body, dorsal view; (c) ventral view; (d) cross-section through mesotrunk; (e) appendage, lateral view; (f) appendage, frontal view; (g) podomere 5 from lateral and frontal views; (h) appendage, ventral view, extended; (i) appendage, ventral view, retracted. Abbreviations: bf, bifurcated tip of endite; br, brain; en, endite; fa, frontal appendage; fg, foregut; fl, flap; fn, frontal appendage nerve/circulatory lacuna; ip, putative inner plates of oral cone; lc, lacuna of circulatory system; le, lateral eye; lm, band of lamellae; me, median eye; mg, midgut; mo, mouth; mt, mesotrunk; ne, neck; np#, lateral eye neuropil #; oc, oral cone; on, optic nerve; os, preocular sclerite; ot, outer spine of appendage; p, phosphatized element; pd#, podomere #; pt, posterotrunk; ra, flap ray; sb, segmental boundary; tp, terminal process; ts, terminal spine of appendage. Elements shown in dashed lines (appendage podomeres, oral plates, ring-shaped brain) are uncertain and have been inferred. Artwork by Danielle Dufault © Royal Ontario Museum. |
