Ceratophrys ornata, the Argentinean horned frog, has a significantly different pattern of early morphogenesis than does the most studied amphibian, Xenopus laevis. Time-lapse videomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, histological sections and lineage tracers have shown that, in C. ornata, some prospective notochord, somite and tailbud mesoderm cells leave the surface epithelium of the archenteron by ingression. After gastrulation, SEM reveals cells with constricted apices and a bottle shape in three zones on the archenteron roof and in a fourth zone around the blastopore. Prospective somitic tissue ingresses first from two lateral zones, followed by ingression of prospective notochord from the medial zone and tailbud mesoderm from the circumblastoporal zone. This is unlike X. laevis, in which no cells with constricted apices are present on the dorsal surface of the archenteron, nor do any cells ingress into the deep mesodermal layers from the surface layer.
