Figure 10. Ligament morphology in Pulvinites exempla. A, lateral view of the left valve hinge plate showing the orientation of the ligament relative to the umbo (arrow) and the relative position of fibrous (F) and lamellar (L) sublayers. Superscripts indicate the ontogenetic order of the deposition of resilia (AMS C.129659; 62.2 mm). B, lateroventral view of the left valve hinge plate showing the breached ventral edge and the rounded cross-section of resilifers. Note the difference in colour between the ligostracal resilifer walls and the underlying ostracum (NMNZ M.153627; 68.1 mm).
