Virtual three-dimensional reconstruction of the left skeletal labyrinth and the sagitta and lapillus of Amblyraja radiata and Potamotrygon leopoldi. (a) Skeletal labyrinth reconstruction, (c) positioning of the otoliths within the skeletal labyrinth, (e) reconstruction of the sagitta, (g) reconstruction of the lapillus in A. radiata. (b) Skeletal labyrinth reconstruction, (d) positioning of the otoliths within the skeletal labyrinth, (f) reconstruction of the sagitta, (h) reconstruction of the lapillus in P. leopoldi. Scale bar = 2.5 mm. Red rectangles indicate plane of slicing. ASC, anterior semicircular canal; DUC ED, endolymphatic duct; LSC, lateral semicircular canal; PSC, posterior semicircular canal; VES, vestibulum
