Odontodes: The Developmental and Evolutionary Building Blocks of Dentitions

40,00 

The odontodes system includes teeth and other dentin-based structures. It has a rich and ancient history: it is present in the fossils of the earliest jawed vertebrates, providing insight into the evolution of species over millions of years. Odontodes: The Developmental and Evolutionary Building Blocks of Dentitions shows how the ability of fossils to preserve dental tissue with such fidelity allows researchers to explore the evolution of these structures, as well as their diversity among living vertebrates…
