The green line is 6.24 cm long copied from between laser spots elsewhere in the image C deck image of the large body, which was unavailable for taxonomic description since used for other analyses (image by PJS) D a smaller body (arrowhead) attached presumably to the same stalk but lower in the sinuous section with multiple branching attachments to small cobbles E The same body enlarged to show the plush of long atrial pinular pentactins F cross section of the larger contort white stalk and its central canal.
