“…It is known that the procuticle of the carapace in most podocopans is mineralized by calcite, whereas in myodocopans it is either unmineralized or mineralized by monohydrocalcite (Kesling, ; Sohn & Kornicker, ). Many characters of an ostracod carapace are useful for taxonomic identification (e.g., ornamentations, hinges, and muscle scars), and optical or/and electron microscope studies of the carapace structure are manifold (Bate & East, , ; Harding, ; Jørgensen, ; Kesling, ; Keyser, , , ; Keyser & Walter, ; Kornicker, ; Langer, ; Müller, ; Okada, , 1982a,b, ,b; Schreiber, ; Sohn, ; Sylvester‐Bradley & Benson, ; Yamada, ,b,c, ; Yamada & Keyser, , ; Yamada & Matzke‐Karasz, ; Yamada, Tsukagoshi, & Ikeya, , ; Yumoto, ). However, most focused on a podocopan carapace and rarely on the structure and calcification of a myodocopan carapace.…”
