Understanding 9/11Comparative microscopic dental anatomy in the Petalodontida (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii)
Bookreader Item Preview
The microscopic anatomy of the teeth in 9 genera and 23 species of the Paleozoic elasmobranch order Petalodontida was examined in numerous thin sections. With two exceptions, the crowns of these teeth are covered with a highly characteristic, compound tissue, which Moy-Thomas called "tubular dentine" and for which the term "orthotrabeculine" is here proposed. Orthotrabeculine consists of a hypermineralized homologue of modern shark orthodentine and peritubular trabeculine surrounding vascular channels. On the flanks of the crown of Petalodus occurs the most primitive state of this tissue; its histogenetic development is discussed. In some species of Chomatodus and in Tanaodus, orthotrabeculine also forms an internal structure that may extend all the way from the cutting edge of the crown to the vicinity of the tooth base
Includes bibliographical references (p. 40-42)
