瑞典烏普薩拉大學Per Erik Ahlberg、Valéria Vaškaninová研究團隊合作取得新進展。他們發現頜骨脊椎動物的祖先具有邊緣齒列和多個真皮顎骨的特徵。2020年7月10日出版的《科學》雜誌發表了這項成果。
他們用同步加速器顯微照相技術描述了所謂的棘索酸的化石牙列,這是系統發育最基礎的有牙齒的基顎脊椎動物,屬於Radotina、Kosoraspis和Tlamaspis屬(來自捷克共和國早期泥盆紀)。他們的牙列與節肢動物根本不同。它們靠邊緣,由臉頰骨或沿著頜骨邊緣的一系列短皮骨託著,並且像許多軟骨魚類(軟骨魚類)和鎖骨魚類(黑骨魚類和四足動物)一樣,舌側添有牙齒。他們提出這些特徵是所有頜骨脊椎動物的祖先具有的。
據了解,現存魚類和陸地脊椎動物的牙列在牙齒替換的模式和類型上都不同。有人認為,共同的祖先很可能具有類似於節肢動物的非邊緣、放射狀排列的牙銼,節肢動物是早期的裝甲魚類。

Abstract: The dentitions of extant fishes and land vertebrates vary in both pattern and type of tooth replacement. It has been argued that the common ancestral condition likely resembles the nonmarginal, radially arranged tooth files of arthrodires, an early group of armoured fishes. We used synchrotron microtomography to describe the fossil dentitions of so-called acanthothoracids, the most phylogenetically basal jawed vertebrates with teeth, belonging to the genera Radotina, Kosoraspis, and Tlamaspis (from the Early Devonian of the Czech Republic). Their dentitions differ fundamentally from those of arthrodires; they are marginal, carried by a cheekbone or a series of short dermal bones along the jaw edges, and teeth are added lingually as is the case in many chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) and osteichthyans (bony fishes and tetrapods). We propose these characteristics as ancestral for all jawed vertebrates.
