1. Close-view ESEM image of denticles from the surface of the mid-body region in a bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo) to show details of typical denticle structure with the three surface ridges and three posteriorly pointing prongs.
Close-view ESEM image of denticles from the surface of the mid-body region in a bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo) to show details of typical denticle structure with the three surface ridges and three posteriorly pointing prongs. Such denticle structure is common on the body, fins and tail, although denticles of this species on the head have a different morphology. Scale bar, 50 μm.
