Description:
The cells have a flat, disc-like shape with noticeable organic structures extending outward from their center. These organic extensions project out from the cell’s midsection, forming a series of spine-like structures that are interconnected at their far end. Each cell possesses a single central strutted process and a ring of marginal strutted processes, with approximately 4 to 5 of these processes occurring within a 10-micrometer span. Additionally, they feature two labiate processes.
