Molar progression in the manatee (Trichechus manatus). [Abstr.]
Anat. Rec. 196(3): 128A.
–Notes the presence of enlarged transseptal fibers connecting the teeth (as in kangaroos with molar progression), and suggests they play a role in manatee tooth replacement; assumes the motive force to be due to propalinal occlusion.
