> The overall or intercostal microsculpture in Semipallium is usually
> called "shagreen" microsculpture. This sculpture is more or less
> "honeycomb-like" and hexagonal, but can transform to a more reticulate
> microsculpture, which is more quadrigonal.
> Another intercostal microsculpture is a "herringbone" microsculpture,
> which could be observed in Mimachlamys.
> Also other preradial and intercostal microsculptures exist, like
> granular, antimarginal and commarginal.
