Major parts of a denticle include the crown, the peduncle, and the base; shown here on a spiracle denticle from a Portuguese dogfish Centroscymnus coelolepis (MCZ 38297, juvenile male 650 mm TL) and orientated with the anterior to the left and the posterior to the right (After Vaz et al. 2023).

Denticles, these tooth-shaped structures, provide a shark with many benefits such as protection and increased drag reduction during swimming."

I was instantly reminded of the #dermal #denticles of the #wobbegong #shark!

Dermal denticles are tooth-like structures that create the skin-like external layer on chondrichthyans (sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras)!

What is the significance of the tremendous diversity of #shark skin #denticles? Presenting our experimental approach to understanding this at the Atlanta #SICB2025 meetings. Come to the session for all things shark skin!

So why is this important? A key reason: #denticles on branchial pouch skin are amenable to experimental measurement in the laboratory. We can measure flow over these denticles in live sharks to understand the relationship between denticle shape and flow.

The amazing skin of sharks: a (longish) thread! For some time we’ve been studying the structure and function of #shark #skin and #biomimetic models of shark surfaces. Covered with amazing dermal #denticles (#scales) sharks have skin with a rough texture composed of tiny teeth.

Many congratulations to @elizabethsibert and @SoundsFishyLeah for the publication of their outstanding paper in @ScienceMagazine on #shark diversity through time using #denticles in deep-sea sediments (https://bit.ly/2TKROtf Such weird denticles in extinct species!

Wonderful study revealing a mysterious and sudden loss of shark dandruff accumulation in the fossil record! #denticles

#Shark skin #denticles are remarkably diverse, but the external skin between gill slits shows a new pattern. @molly_gabler shows a dramatic transition in denticle shape within a few mm in her #SICB2021 talk. #fishsci #sharks #SharkScience @SICB_DCB_DVM

It’s time for #SharkScaleSaturday again! Continuing with the theme of missing denticles, this tail surface of a leopard #shark is missing several. Missing #denticles occur all around the body of all species we’ve looked at so far. #swimming #fishsci #SharkScience

We all know that #sharks replace their teeth, but have you ever seen #skin #denticles being replaced? Our new paper (https://bit.ly/2VFtlmY shows denticles emerging from below into gaps at the skin surface in #thresher shark tails. More to come! #swimming #fishsci #SharkScience
