Evolutionary trajectories of tooth histology patterns in modern sharks (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii). [PDF]
J Anat, 2020 Using micro‐computed tomography techniques, we examined the tooth mineralization in modern shark clades (Elasmobranchii, Chondrichthyes). The inclusion of fossil taxa and computing ancestral states allowed us to trace back the development of different mineralization patterns in deep time.
