  2. Orthacanthus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthacanthus

    Spines of individuals with 1-2 dentine layers are likely juveniles and result in the smallest sizes, whereas individuals showing at least 3-4 dentine layers result in two separate size classes. [10] The cross section is oval near the opening of the pulp cavity and circular/subtriangular in the distal part of the non-denticulated region and ...

    Burrow et al. 2016 provides vindication by finding chondrichthyans to be nested among Acanthodii, most closely related to Doliodus and Tamiobatis. [2] A 2017 study of Doliodus morphology points out that it appears to display a mosaic of shark and acanthodian features, making it a transitional fossil and further reinforcing this idea. [5]

    A study on the anatomy of the pectoral region of the skeleton of Doliodus problematicus is published by Maisey et al. (2017). [21] A study on the phylogenetic relationships of the Devonian species "Ctenacanthus" latispinosus is published by Burrow et al. (2017), who transfer this species to the genus Doliodus. [22]

    Tarrasius problematicus (of Mississippian origin, ~ 350 Ma) featured a fully regionalized tetrapod-like spine divided into 5 distinct segments. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It is not considered a transitional fossil though, but an extreme example of convergent evolution .
