File:Lophosteus superbus spine 2.png

English: Virtual thin sections of lateroventral surface of the spine of L. superbus (GIT 727-2) showing (A) the morphology of the area and (B) highlighting first and second generation odontodes. (A) and (B) are the same image and share the same coordinate system and scale bar. Scale bar is 80 μm. (C) Rendered surface of the entire tip of the fin spine showing the location in red of the (A) and (B) virtual thin sections. The pink portion of the surface shows the location of the partially buried odontodes. (D) separates the pink region from the rest of the 3D rendering while (E) isolates the first-generation odontodes and buried surface (dark pink) and (F) shows the position and morphology of second-generation odontodes (light pink). (C–F) share coordinate system and scale bars. Scale bars are 200 μm.
