- We identify disk features (spiral arms, bars, or edge-on disks) in a significant fraction of Virgo cluster early-type dwarfs. These galaxies are disk-shaped and are an unrelaxed cluster population that possibly formed out of infalling progenitors. Some display spiral arms with grand design features that cannot be the mere remainders of potential late-type spiral progenitors
