Lunula: This is the part of the matrix that you can see.

No more metalwork was found, nor any evidence for why the lunula might have been buried there.

The word lunula means little moon and commonly refers to:

The equivalent for the girl was the lunula, a crescent moon amulet.

If one damages the lunula, the nail will permanently be deformed.

Further analysis may indicate whether the lunula had been made of Irish or Scottish gold.

In some cases, the eponychium may partially or completely cover the lunula.

The lunula has a primary structural role in defining the free edge of the distal nail plate.

The lunula can best be seen in the thumb and may not be visible in the little finger.

The town is the location of a notable archaeological find in 1945 when a lunula, a gold necklace, and two discs were discovered.

Outlining the nail matrix, the lunula is a very delicate part of the nail structure.

Part of the matrix is usually visible as the lunula, or half-moon, at the base of the thumb nail.

Redness of the pale arched area at the bottom of your nail: Also called spotted lunula.

In Wilson's disease the blue color involves the lunula (most intense pigmentation) and fades proximally.

The lunula (lunette) is made of the same material as the ostensorium.

Thumbs, which are the most commonly involved, usually show an enlarged lunula resulting probably from repeated pressure applied on the base of the nail.

There is no lunula.

The curving edges of the lunula are generally followed by curving border-lines, often with decoration between them.

Examinations concluded that the lunula was an area of loose dermis with lesser developed collagen bundles.

The lunula is the crescent-shape area at the base of the nail, this is a lighter color as it mixes with the matrix cells.

At the sides of the receptacle in which the lunula is placed it is appropriate to have two statues representing adoring angels.

The two examples shown illustrate roughly the range of widths of the lowest part of the lunula that is found.

The lunula is the visible portion of the distal nail matrix that extends beyond the proximal nailfold.

Lunula is lateral and ]-shaped.

Although no lunula has been directly dated, from associations with other artefacts it is thought they were being made sometime in the period between 2200-2000 BC.

The lunule is short and heart-shaped, light brown with fine radiating ridges.

The lunule and escutcheon are poorly defined.

The shells are usually oval, or somewhat heartshaped, with a conspicuous lunule.

The lunules in veins 2 to 4 are rose coloured while the lunule in vein 5 is white.

The hindwings are pale brown with a darker discal lunule and subterminal band.

The lunule is deep circular, projecting into the interior of the right valve, the left valve is in the same place furnished with dentiform tubercles.

Hind wing dull black, with the two upper and lower marginal lunules, an irregular-shaped anal lunule, and the tail tip bright crimson.

Adults have grey forewings with a dark brown lunule distal to the central part of the postmedial 'M'-shape on the forewing.

Adult females tend to be slightly larger than males, with smaller eyes placed more laterally on the head and the ocellar triangle not surpassing the halfway point to the lunule.

Fore wing has a narrow transverse black lunule on the discocellulars and a transverse curved discal series of five white spots, each spot centred with black.

Characteristically venus clams possess a porcelain-like inner shell layer, a complex tooth structure in the hinge, well-developed escutchion and lunule and a well-developed pallial sinus.

Hindwing with the upper discal patch smaller, often green and not blue, the red subterminal lunule in interspace 7 is always present and more prominent than in the male.

Other distinguishing characteristics include the presence of three postacrostichal setae and the first flaellomere broader in width than the parafacial at the level of the lunule (Whitworth 2006).

Fore wing with two large subapical black spots, each with a smaller spot outwardly of pure white inwardly bordered by a ferruginous interrupted lunule; costal margin narrowly pale.

The Pyx (also known as The Hooker Cult Murders and La Lunule) is a 1973 Canadian supernatural thriller film starring Karen Black and Christopher Plummer.

If you followed it back from the edge of the nail, across the lunule, the joints, and the knuckle, it didn't terminate anywhere; you just eventually found that you were looking past it toward something else.

On the underside, the spot of the discal patch in interspace 1 is vermilion-red, and the red lunule of the subterminal series in interspace 2 is produced to the vermilion-red terminal edging below it.

Underside dusky ochreous : forewing with the posterior area broadly black ; spots as above ; hindwing with a yellow lunule at end of the cell, a small spot above it and five discal spots.

There is a dark brown or black band arising from the midpoint of the inner margin, curving across the wing distal to the discal spot and running to the apex where it fuses with the dark brown lunule on the outer margin.

The lunules in the submarginal row are very strongly developed, the apices of each lunule being elongated towards the margin ; the tail formed by the prolongation of the middle median nervule is very marked, being nearly 3/8 inch long.

Underside similar to that in the male, the red at base of wings more extended, the white discal spot in interspace 2 very small, irrorated with red scales; the postdiscal, lunular and admarginal spots larger, with a white postdiscal lunule in interspace 4.

Underside variegated with ochraceous red, bluish white, yellow and black; the terminal margins of both fore and hind wings broadly black with white lunules, as on the upperside, and median short white lines from the margin in each lunule; cilia alternately black and white.
