Descriptor : Repartition of carcass pores (OW/SW)

Descriptor type : categorical

Pore: Simple perforation of any skeletal structure. Pore diameter is greater than thickness of the structure.

Carcass: Part of wall on intervallum side.

OW: Outer wall.

SW: Single wall.


Regular repartition

Regular repartition: Pores covered the whole wall.

Irregular repartition

Intervallum: Space enclosed between the walls.
