The micropyle is found within a circular depression, surrounded by tiny rounded cells and a crown of grooves. The transition zone has thick walls, a character shared with T. betulae . The tubercle-aeropyle zone is made up of rounded regularly shaped cells, surrounded by elevated walls with prominent, blunt corners ( Verhulst 1986 ).
