Evolution of Dental Tissues and Paleobiology in Selachians

by Guillaume Guinot, Sebastien Enault, Gilles Cuny ...

Chondrichthyans possess unique anatomical features compared to other vertebrates, in particular a fully cartilaginous skeleton and a permanently renewed dentition. These characteristics make the fossilization of whole bodies difficult and consequently their fossil record consists mainly of a large number of isolated teeth. The study of their dentition is therefore of primary interest for our ... Read more
