A history lesson on cross polars by Mike Morgan, UK. February 1998 The following may be of interest, whilst observing a sample of pond water, I found a good example of the jaws of a rotifer ( ). The mouth of the rotifer leads to the pharynx which contains the jaws or trophi. The jaws consist of seven, hard cuticularized parts, which retain their shape after death or compression, though not necessarily their relative positions.
