Figure 11

Three-dimensional model of Leanchoilia superlata Walcott, 1912 illustrating new interpretation of the morphology. A, Postero-dorsal view, note the position of the tergo-pleurae and the relatively narrow axial region; B, Lateral view, showing metachronal leg movement, note the slim body; C, Dorsal view; D, Antero-ventral view with strong median setation of appendages; E, Antero-dorso-lateral view; color of the model inspired by modern chelicerates.
