. Anastomosed hexagonal meshes form a uniplanar layer delineating the atrium wall along the tube. From this uniplanar mesh, arise a succession of dendritic fibers at regular intervals going ortogonal to the surface. These fibers run along the tube wall without anastomoses. Atrium fibers are stratified 90350 µm in diameter with reddish amber bark, forming meshes 4681610 µm wide with amber-colored pith 60180 µm in diameter, on average three-quarters of the fiber diameter. Dendritic fibers are thinner than that of the atrium, 110160 µm in diameter, with a lighter-colored bark and a black pith 80100 µm in diameter with unusual nodules on average, 80 % of the fiber diameter (
