The size of the ventral portion of the present LAPs, the oblique ventro-proximal tip and the relatively small semi-circular outline of the actual tentacle notch strongly suggest that the articulated arms were covered by large ventral plates separated by the LAPs and encompassing small tentacle pores as defined by
