Figure 6

Schematic illustration of a set of stacked tubes of Cyathinema digermulense gen. et sp. nov. (a) individual tube terminating in a cup-shaped structure. A small, round opening inside the cup connects to the interior of the tube. (b) A stack of tubes of varying lengths. The “cups” and the closed, domed termini usually occur on the apical side of the fossil. This arrangement represents a single layer, in a way the fossils usually occur. Rare tubes that are distally closed are randomly distributed.
