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 picture to toggle between different
