Peculiar tooth renewal in a Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Lepisosteiformes, †Scheenstia sp.)
Abstract Tooth replacement in vertebrates is extremely diverse, and its study in extinct taxa gives insights into the evolution of the different dental renewal modes. Based on μ‐CT scans of a left lower jaw of the extinct fish †Scheenstia (Actinopterygii, Lepisosteiformes), we describe in detail a peculiar tooth replacement mode that is, as far as we ...

The osteology of “Coccodus” lindstroemi is studied in detail and it is demonstrated that this species does not belong to the genus Coccodus, but is a rather primitive member of the pycnodontiform family Gladiopycnodontidae. Indeed, the snout of “Coccodus”

The dentition of the enigmatic pycnodont fish, Athrodon wittei (Fricke, 1876) (Neopterygii, Pycnodontiformes; Late Jurassic; NW Germany) [PDF]
Most pycnodontiform fishes are represented by their distinctive dentition alone, whereas articulated skeletons are very rare and the systematic position of most taxa based upon isolated teeth and the association of upper and lower dentitions to a ...

Stable isotope study of a new chondrichthyan fauna (Kimmeridgian, Porrentruy, Swiss Jura): an unusual freshwater-influenced isotopic composition for the hybodont shark Asteracanthus [PDF]
Chondrichthyan teeth (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) are mineralized in isotopic equilibrium with the surrounding water, and parameters such as water temperature and salinity can be inferred from the oxygen isotopic composition (δ18Op) of their bioapatite.

Macromesodon Blake, 1905 and Apomesodon Poyato-Ariza & Wenz, 2002 (Actinopterygii, Pycnodontiformes) from the Jurassic and lowermost Cretaceous of England, France, and Germany [PDF]
The pycnodontiform genera Macromesodon and Apomesodon from the Upper Jurassic and lowermost Cretaceous of Central and Western Europe are described in detail and their union into one genus is rejected.

A Late Jurassic Ginglymodians and Pycnodontiformes from Torres Vedras, Portugal.
For the last 20 to 25 years, Torres Vedras has been the scene of a crucial, vast and diversenumber of fossil vertebrate occurrences. Bony fish are part of this important collection. Here we present a set of 64 Pycnodontiformes indet.
