Histology and μCT reveal the unique evolution and development of multiple tooth rows in the synapsid Endothiodon
Abstract Several amniote lineages independently evolved multiple rows of marginal teeth in response to the challenge of processing high fiber plant matter. Multiple tooth rows develop via alterations to tooth replacement in captorhinid reptiles and ornithischian dinosaurs, but the specific changes t...
