a–f, Synchrotron scan segments that show the enlarged bony chambers that house the blood vessels and the rostral terminations of the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerves (red) in the snouts of a two-year-old C. niloticus (a, b), a twenty-year-old C. niloticus (c, d) and H. escuilliei MPC-D102/109 (e, f). Dorsal (a, c, e) and lateral views (b, d, f) are shown. Scale bar, 1.5 mm (a, b, e, f), 10 mm (c, d).
