In larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus), a small, relatively inconspicuous olfactory organ sac contains small, densely packed olfactory receptor neurons and sustentacular cells. During metamorphosis, the larval organ transforms into a prominent lamellar structure with large distinct olfactory ep
