Chitala chitala

The larger teeth of C. chitala present more or less regular dentine folds that are limited to the basal 1/4 of the crown ( Fig. 3B). Virtual cross sections show that the teeth are fused to each other at their base through spongy bone ( Fig. 3B, C). The supporting bone of the jaw shows numerous medullary cavities. The smaller lingual teeth also show some discrete dentine folds ( Fig. 3C).
