While field S0 galaxies have disks whose surface-brightness profiles are roughly equally divided between the three main types (Types I, II, and III: single-exponential, truncated, and antitruncated), Virgo S0s appear to be entirely lacking in disk truncations. More specifically, the fraction of truncations in S0 galaxies with M_B < -17 is 28% +7/-6% for the field, versus 0% +4/-0% for the Virgo Cluster galaxies; the difference is significant at the 99.7% level.
