acrodont sentence in Hindi
Examples
More: Next- The type specimen is a partial jawbone which has acrodont teeth.
- Behind them are four pairs of larger, laterally compressed, and triangular acrodont teeth.
- The four following pairs of teeth are much smaller and acrodont, meaning that they grow from the upper margin of the jaw.
- Like other priscagamids it has an acrodont dentition, meaning that its teeth grow from the margins of the jaws rather than their inner surfaces, as is the case for the pleurodont dentitions of most lizards.
- One of the key distinguishing features of the agamids is their teeth, which are borne on the outer rim of their mouths ( acrodonts ), rather than on the inner side of their jaws ( pleurodonts ).
- There is also evidence to suggest that its teeth may have been continuously replaced throughout life, as opposed to the permanent teeth of acrodontans . " Pleurodontagama " may have been a transitional form between the derived acrodont type and the pleurodont type inferred for the ancestors of Acrodonta.
- Sphenodontians are also abundant in the Kota microvertebrate asssemblage and have acrodont dentitions, raising the possibility that " Bharatagama " is not one of the earliest lizards but rather a sphenodontian misidentified as a lizard . " Bharatagama " also shares with sphenodontians an enlarged coronoid process on the lower jaw.
- The combination of features such as pleurodont teeth at the front of the jaws, hatchling teeth behind them, the lack of wear marks on the inner surfaces of the teeth ( a characteristic feature of sphenodontians ), and the shape of the maxilla, premaxilla, and angular bones all point to " Bharatagama " being an early acrodont lizard.
- The type species, " "'Pleurodontagama aenigmatodes " "', was named in 1984 on the basis of a mostly complete skull and isolated lower jaw from a fossil locality called Khermeen Tsav . It has a wide skull with a flat snout, large eye sockets, and small bumps on the surfaces of the bones . " Pleurodontagama " was initially classified in the family Priscagamidae, which is usually grouped in a large clade of iguanians called Acrodonta, members of which are characterized by an " acrodont " dentition in which the teeth grow from the margins of the jaws.
