FIGURE 2. Triglypta shandanensis (Chen in Zhang et al., 1976) emend. SEM images of the external mould of the right valve of the holotype specimen in Fig. 1A (NIGP 29776). A, The external mould of the right valve. B, Growth bands in the anterior middle part of the carapace, ornamented by puncta, appearing as fine nodules on external mould. C, Growth bands in the antero-ventral part of the carapace, ornamented by clustered puncta, clustered puncta with slightly linear arrangements to form irregular radial lirae, appearing as fine irregular striae with intercalated clustered nodules on external mould. D, Growth bands in the ventral part of the carapace, ornamented by puncta, appearing as fine nodules on external mould. E, F, Growth bands near the antero-ventral and ventral margin of the carapace, ornamented by radial lirae, which are formed by linearly arranged clustered puncta, fine striae with intercalated clustered nodules on external mould. G, H, Growth bands near the anterior and posterior margin of the carapace, ornamented by dense punctate reticulation, appearing as dense nodules on external mould. Scale bars = 1 mm in A, 100 μm in B–F and H, 50 μm in G.
