Fig. 4: lateral view of a specimen developed as in fig. 3. Fig. 5a: lateral view of a somewhat more developed specimen, together with an oblique basal view of A. viniculata (see plate 60). Fig. 5b: detail of delicate meshwork draped around (and fused with?) one of the main arches. Figs. 6, 7. Main arches and connecting bridges complete. Fig. 8: lateral view of specimen with complete connecting bridges (as in figs. 6 and 7). Fig. 9: specimen with partially developed finer meshwork. Note the more or less rectangular outline (vs. the rounded outline of figs. 6 and 7). Fig. 11: nearly completely developed specimen (cp. Amphispyris costata Haeckel), also more or less rectangular in outline, but less broad than figs. 9 and 10.
