CONT

Chez les Chondrostéens et les Holostéens, les écailles primitives se fusionnent en larges écussons losangiques. Ces écussons comprennent une couche profonde correspondant à l'ensemble des plaques basales des écailles placoïdes fusionnées et une couche superficielle représentant la substance propre des dents fusionnées. Cette couche superficielle prend un éclat particulier, d'où le nom d'écaille "ganoïde" donné à ce type.
