dentition

More baby boomers reached 60 with “a relatively intact dentition at that age than any generation in history,” the CDC says.

Imagine a walrus-like creature with dentition remarkably similar to modern walruses: A quartet of post-canine teeth, a large lower canine tooth and a short, fused vertical midline on their lower jaw.

Using the novel technique, the research team tried to determine the closest fit of the teeth's appearance to other dinosaurs with well-known dentition.

“He still has a full dentition. Healthy and happy.”

The fossil dolphin’s dentition was unlike anything seen in living cetaceans.
