Caption

This synchrotron holotomography represents a virtual longitudinal section through the 100 million-year-old fossil ostracod Harbinia micropapillosa. The left arrow shows the preserved inner part of the esophagus, while the right arrow points to the two seminal receptacles, where this female stored the giant sperm cells after mating.
