pleuropericardial folds,

a pair of small ridges that originate along the lateral body walls in the fifth week of embryonic development and project into the cranial ends of the pericardioperitoneal canals to divide the pleural cavities from the pericardial cavity. They later develop into the pleuropericardial membranes.
