FIGURE 12. Two specimens of Chancelloria
and one of the sponge Vauxia from the Burgess Shale, British Columbia
(ROM 49605). Immersed in water. A. Without crossed
nicols; green channel. B. With crossed nicols; green channel. C.
Image obtained by subtracting the pixel values of B from those of A, using the
Adobe Photoshop “Subtract” blending mode (settings: Opacity = 100, Offset =
100, Scale = 1) and subsequently adjusting the levels in the combined channel. D.
Image obtained as in C, except that values of A are subtracted from those of B
(this has the same effect as inverting the values of C). (Click on the
