Figure 4

3-D modelling of the simonsenioid raphe system based on FIB cut of numerous specimens from wild population shown at various angles.

(A) the apical and transapical aspects. Note the presence of the raphe bearing tube (arrow 1), the fenestrae (arrow 2) and the supporting braces (arrow 3). (B) Cross sections along transapical axis. Cross section (A) shows the position of the raphe bearing canal on braces (arrowhead) above the fibulae, whereas (B) shows the connection between the valve interior and the raphe bearing tube through the portulae (arrow).
