They also had differentiated teeth, jaw bones, and jaw muscles suitable for chewing.
Both autologous bone graft groups (iliac bone and jaw bone) showed favorable clinical results, with similar long-term implant stability and overall implant survival rates.
Modern skimmers are well adapted for skimming, with thicker jaw bones and more robust jaw muscles to avoid twisting in the water, which could prove catastrophic.
But when a specimen was being cleaned that also contained skull bones, instead of finding a head with a long sword-like snout and jaws lined with predatory fangs, researchers found long, toothless jaws supporting a gaping mouth and long, rod-like bones that contributed to the huge gill arches needed to filter out enormous quantities of tiny plankton.
