| 1996 | Development of tooth structure in aquatic mammals. Bull. Inst. Oceanogr. (Monaco), Numéro Spécial 14(4): 353-357. 16 figs. –Includes micrographs of enamel structure in the sirenians Eosiren, Halitherium, Metaxytherium, and Trichechus, and the desmostylians Behemotops, Paleoparadoxia, and Desmostylus, with brief comparative comments. (The specimens are not identified to species, nor are their sources given, making the taxonomy and hence the comparisons open to question.) Suggests that desmostylians, like Hippopotamus, ate fibrous terrestrial plants. | ||
