Caption: Fig. 4. Micro-CT images of a broken pyritized capitulum-like infructescence (V51634) of Polycarpella caespitosa Reid and Chandler emend. Chandler 1978 (Cyperaceae) from the London Clay Formation, southeast England. (A and B) Digital isosurface renderings showing individual fruits. (A) Oblique lateral view, with broken edge showing internal radial features and basal stalk. (B) Oblique apical view. (C) Digital longitudinal section (LS), showing individual fruits not arranged in florets but more like spikelets. (D) Image produced by labelling and segmentation of the micro-CT dataset, showing six “bristles” surrounding each fruit, which attach to one another beneath the fruit. The fruit wall layers have been removed from around the seed so that all the bristles can be seen. The seed remains visible. Scale bars = 5 mm. www.nrcresearchpress.com/journal/cjb
