Fig. 18 in Extraordinary morphological changes in valve morphology during the ontogeny of several species of the Australian ostracod genus Bennelongia (Crustacea, Ostracoda)

Fig. 18. Specimens of Bennelongia cf. barangaroo nov. sp. from McNeil Claypan, to show specific features of juvenile specimens. Top left image shows the poorly pronounced domes in the dorsal region of the LV of an A-3 specimen. Top right image shows an internal view of an A-3 that shows the less pronounced inner list and the depression located opposite the cones and the possible larger depression matching the external dome. The middle images show the cones with the lips near their apex. Bottom left image shows the larger pores on the inside of the valve, that are connected to the opening of each pore on the apex of each cone. Bottom right corner image shows the highly reticulated texture of an A-3 valve and the domes that are not as pronounced as in other Bennelongia species (e.g., compare to B. nimala nov. sp. in Fig. 3).
