D, F). There is no real separated cortex, just a dense accumulation of paratangential microxeas II, reinforced by an underlying dense layer of paratangential microxeas I. This layer is 150200 µm thick, thus invisible to the naked eye. Both orthotriaenes and dichotriaenes are present, more or less positioned radially with their cladomes tangential to the cortex. Some oxeas and triaenes cross the surface; they are responsible of the strong hispidation. Apart from the radial position of some triaenes, the arrangement of the spicules in the choanosome is confused. Amphiasters are commonly found in the cortex area but are also moderately present in the choanosome. Both kinds of microxeas are abundant in the choanosome, but the microxeas I are clearly predominant and form a dense meshwork. There is also a contamination of
