Summary

We found a special form of collagen fibrils in tentorium cerebelli and internal cranial periost of hen with two characteristics under electron-microscope:

  1. 1.

    Collagen fibrils showing branching and anastomosing somewhat like the branching and anastomosing of heart muscle fibers.

  2. 2.

    These branching collagen fibrils are at the same time shortperiodic with the cross-striated periods of 40–44 nm.

The possibility and significance of such special collagen fibrils have been discussed.
