Genetic (background) strain: unknown
Genotype: unknown
Animal state: fixed
Labeling: Alcian blue for cartilage, Alizarin red for bone
Description: Skeletogenesis begins with the independent condensation of the parhypural and hypural 1. This image shows these structures at 4.0mm NL. Scale bar = 0.05mm, arrow = hypural 1, * = parhypural
