The homology and phylogeny of chondrichthyan tooth enameloid [PDF]
AbstractA systematic SEM survey of tooth microstructure in (primarily) fossil taxa spanning chondrichthyan phylogeny demonstrates the presence of a superficial cap of single crystallite enameloid (SCE) on the teeth of several basal elasmobranchs, as well as on the tooth plates of Helodus (a basal holocephalan).

Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

Growth and maturity of salmon sharks (Lamna ditropis) in the eastern and western North Pacific, and comments on back-calculation methods [PDF]
Age and growth estimates for salmon sharks (Lamna ditropis) in the eastern North Pacific were derived from 182 vertebral centra collected from sharks ranging in length from 62.2 to 213.4 cm pre-caudal length (PCL) and compared to previously published age

A marine vertebrate fauna from the Late Triassic of Somerset, and a review of British placodonts [PDF]
The British Rhaetian (latest Triassic) is famous for its bone beds containing abundant remains of fishes and reptiles. Most Rhaetian bone beds are assumed to have been similar in faunal composition, representing long-distance mixing of transported ...
