Descriptor : Type of additional sheath (IW)

Descriptor type : categorical

Additional sheath: Second part of a wall composed by two zones (carcass + sheath).

IW: Inner wall.


Microporous sheath

Microporous sheath: Thin skeletal plate supported by carcass and pierced by micropores (lesser diameter than pores).

Screen of planar rings

Screen of planar rings: Successive horizontal annular shelves.

Sieve formed by protrusions

Sieve: Aditional sheath stemmed from pores subdivisions.

Subdivided pore: Pores irregularly divided by radial protrusions of lintels.

Protrusion: Rod divided pores.

Lintel: Skeletal structure separating and bounding adjacent pores.
