FIGURE 19. Chondrocladia (Chondrocladia) clavata. A. Cross section through the body showing the obvious mycalostyle bundles that form the filaments and the disorganised subectosomal smaller mycalostyles. B. Exterior surface showing the echinating smaller mycalostyles and the isochelae on the surface. C. Two filaments showing the isochelae on the ectosome and some of the mycalostyles exposed from the endosome. D. End of filament where it joins the sponge body showing the arrangement of large mycalostyles and the sigmas and isochelae in the ectosome. E. Lower stem composed of tightly packed mycalostyles. F. Root processes showing both types of tightly packed mycalostyles.
