Full description
Coronal micro-CT section though the heel of prearticular tooth plate NHMZ 2432(8). Medial margin is to the right showing high X-ray opacity circumdenteonal dentine and a thin layer of enamel on the surface. ‘Cones’ of higher X-ray opacity circumdenteonal dentine coincide with wear pits in the occlusal surface (bottom) while the main body of the pulp cavity is composed of interdenteonal dentine with denteons dispersed throughout.
