A basal tuft of spicules could not be documented, as the basis of the specimen was torn off. The body wall is up to 3 cm thick. ... : Published as part of Göcke, Christian & Janussen, Dorte, 2013, Hexactinellida of the genus Rossella, of ANT XXIV / 2 (SYSTCO I) Expedition — Antarctic Eastern Weddell Sea, pp. 102-122 in Zootaxa 3692 (1) on pages 114-116, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3692.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/224084 ...
