Three-dimensional reconstruction of the pre- and postnatal ossification and mineralization of the hyolaryngeal apparatus in horseshoe bats. Scale bars = 1 mm. See text for abbreviations. CS21: fetal specimen of Rhinolophus pusillus. The stylohyal is ossified. CS22: fetal specimen of R. pusillus. The thyrohyal and epihyal are ossified. CS24: fetal specimen of R. pusillus. The basihyal and thyrohyal are ossified. The arytenoid, cricoid, and thyroid cartilages are mineralized. P0: postnatal day 0 specimen of R. pusillus. The sagittal crest of the cricoid cartilage is mineralized. P14: postnatal day 14 specimen of R. pusillus. The lateral tracheal chambers are mineralized. P21: postnatal day 21 specimen of R. pusillus. The dorsal tracheal chambers are mineralized. Adult: adult specimen of R. pusillus
