Fig. 5. Comparison between M. azzunae sp. nov. and M. sandrae Bertolani & Rebecchi, 1993. A. Placoids in M. azzunae sp. nov., paratype (UNIMORE, slide C4218–S30). B. Placoids in M. sandrae (UNIMORE, slide C442–S79); arrowheads evidence the different constriction depth of the first macroplacoid. C. Eggshell in M. azzunae sp. nov., paratype (UNIMORE, slide C4218–S4). D. Eggshell in M. sandrae (UNIMORE, slide C2346–S2); in M. azzunae sp. nov. there are smaller processes and reticulation with thinner wires and larger net around the processes than in M. sandrae. A–D: PhC.
