Abstract: We show that a planar unshielded compact set $ X$ is finitely Suslinian if and only if there exists a closed set $ F\subset \sone$ and a lamination $ \sim$ of $ F$ such that $ F/\sim$ is homeomorphic to $ X$. If $ X$ is a continuum, the analogous statement follows from Carathéodory theory and is widely used in polynomial dynamics.
