Mineralization of the Callorhinchus Vertebral Column (Holocephali; Chondrichthyes) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Members of the Chondrichthyes (Elasmobranchii and Holocephali) are distinguished by their largely cartilaginous endoskeletons, which comprise an uncalcified core overlain by a mineralized layer; in the Elasmobranchii (sharks, skates, rays) most of this ...
