Figure 15. External morphology and thick sections of Geodia macandrewii Bowerbank, 1858. A, specimen in situ at Traenadjupet, northern Norway, 66°58′N, 11°7′E, 293 m depth, not collected, specimen is c. 35 cm large. Notice two hermit-crabs on the top surface (picture taken by J. Schauer, Polarstern ARK-XXII/1a, 2007). B, specimen ZMBN 85207 cut in half just after collecting from the Røst reef, 312 m depth (Polarstern ARK-XXII/1a, 2007); specimen is 27 cm large. C, specimen ZMBN 89718 just after dredging from north of Spitsbergen, 215 m depth; specimen is 25 cm large (photo: A. Plotkin). D, flattened specimen UPSZMC 78254 from Flemish Cap, just after dredging at 1079 m depth (photo courtesy of NEREIDA Project). E, young specimen from the Labrador coast, SMNH-474. F, cribriporal oscules of ZMBN 85207. Scale bar: 1 mm. G, cribriporal pores of ZMBN 89717 (Spitsbergen, 215 m). H, thick section of ZMBN 77924 (Korsfjord, 200–400 m). Scale bar: 1 mm. I, close-up of cribriporal oscules (ZMBN 77924), a single sphincter (s) sits at the bottom of the oscule. Scale bars: D and E: 1 cm; F–H: 1 mm; I: 500 Mm. : Published as part of Cárdenas, Paco, Rapp, Hans Tore, Klitgaard, Anne Birgitte, Best, Megan, Thollesson, Mikael & Tendal, Ole Secher, 2013, Taxonomy, biogeography and DNA barcodes of Geodia species (Porifera, Demospongiae, Tetractinellida) in the Atlantic boreo-arctic region, pp. 251-311 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 169 (2) on page 279, DOI: 10.1111/zoj.12056, http://zenodo.org/record/5287119
