File:Lophosteus superbus spine 3.png

English: Virtual thin sections of the Lophosteus (GIT 727-2) spine taken in (A) frontal and (B) sagittal planes and a (C) 3D rendering of the entire area with odontodes (D–Q) marked to show position to each other. Scale bars are as follows: (A) is 150 μm, (B) is 200 μm, and (C) is 250 μm. 3D renderings of individual first-generation odontodes to show the morphology and ornamentation in (D) dorsal, (E, F) lateral, and (G) oblique lateral views. (H–K) illustrates the same, but with a different first-generation odontode. Yellow arrow indicates the buried denticles on first generation odontodes. Scale bars for (D)–(K) are 75 μ. (L) shows the morphology of a second-generation odontode in dorsal view, in addition to (M) lateral and (N) oblique lateral views. Scale bars for L and N are 150 μm and (M) is 100 μm. (O–Q) illustrates the morphology of another second-generation odontode in the same orientation, as the odontode figured in (L)–(N). Scale bars are 150 μm.
