In light of the MFRM analysis, it can be concluded that descriptors at the top level (i.e., C1 in the CEFR/CSE 8 in the CECR) were clearly separated and ranked as expected while the most problematic overlapping scaling lay with the intermediate levels (i.e., B1, B1+, and B2/CSE 5, CSE6, and CSE 7) - indicating the difficulty that participants experienced in ranking the intermediate levels.
Paula McNamara used thin slices of wood to make a jacket with overlapping scales.
Most cypriniforms and characiforms possess cycloid scales (smooth, overlapping scales more or less circular in shape).
Though leaves and flowers show damage first, the fungus is thought to start in the bulb, a clump of overlapping scales.
This alone is rather interesting since overlapping scales are rare in dinosaurs, and mutiple scale-types in single animals are also unusual, but it is the filaments that are naturally getting the most attention.
Pangolin, which means "something that rolls up" in Malay, are little creatures covered in overlapping scales of keratin, the same protein as human nails and hair.
The primary inflorescence of grasses is the spikelet, a small structure consisting of a short axis, the rachilla, to which are attached chaffy, two-ranked, closely overlapping scales.
Female flowers occur on the same tree, singly or in two- to many-flowered spikes; each flower has a husk of overlapping scales that enlarges to hold the fruit, or acorn, which matures in one to two seasons.
Armour of overlapping scales of bronze, laced together or sewn onto a backing of padded fabric, is well represented in pictorial evidence and burial items from Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Egypt from about 1500 bc, though its use was probably restricted to a small elite.
The dermis is covered with overlapping scales.
These small-to-medium sized African and Asian mammals are defined by their horny overlapping scales, a small head with an elongated snout, a long sticky tongue, and a thick tapering tail.
