Figure 12. Fluxaphilia mollis holotype (NSMT-Pr717): reflected light micrographs of external and internal details of fragments. A, entire test fragment showing fine-grained outer surface and broken part exposing interior. B–D, internal surfaces of detached fragments of test wall showing dark stercomare branches and granellare strands (arrowheads). E, F, stercomare and granellare (arrowheads), with agglutinated test removed as far as possible. Note that in B–F, the granellare strands are partly occupied by reddish cytoplasm and that in places (probably towards the test margin), the stercomare branches tend to run parallel.
