62. In polyphyodont vertebrates, it is often reported that tooth structure alters remarkably during the life span [38]. Scales in young Polypterus are only elasmoid, while they represent only a part of the scales in adults [Sire, J.-Y. (1989). Scales in young Polypterus senegalus are elasmoid: new phylogenetic implications. Am. J. Anat. 186:315-323]. Since the specimens in this study were young adults (TL 130-160 mm), it might be possible that in adult fishes an ectodermal enamel is deposited on the tooth surface.
