In nearly all teeth in the present study, including the two skulls demonstrating other characteristics of a very young age at the time of death, the margin of the alveolar bone did not reach coronally to the level of the cementoenamel junction. In the domestic dog and cat, this would be classified as pathological alveolar bone loss most commonly secondary to periodontal disease ( 28). In the absence of soft tissue and the context of clinical findings, we are unable to determine the precise involvement of periodontitis in this phenomenon. While it is known that enamel does not cover the entire crowns of the incisor and canine teeth in this species, it is unknown what degree of alveolar bone presence is considered within normal anatomical variation vs. pathological loss ( 16). However, it is noted anecdotally that the teeth of dasyurids continue to erupt to some degree throughout the lifetime of the animal, and the cementoenamel junction may move progressively coronally relative to the alveolar bone as a part of normal tooth eruption and aging ( 23). As such, the nine maxillary fourth molar teeth which had alveolar bone reaching the cementoenamel junction may indicate these specimens were juveniles to young adults, as opposed to reflecting a non-pathologic anatomical standard. The mutually exclusive nature of assessing relative asymmetrical alveolar bone loss means that this should not be used as a sole method of identifying potential pathological alveolar bone loss. This analysis also assumes the plaque-retentive consequences of alveolar bone recession from the furcation in periodontal disease in a comparable manner to that of the domestic dog and cat, but once again, the clinical consequences of this finding are unknown. Further study with precise measurement of suprabony cemental exposure coupled with soft tissue findings would be needed to quantify what degree of this relative alveolar bone recession is considered clinically normal. All that we see now is its fossilised curled shell, which was divided into sections. The creature lived in the newest, largest sections, sealing off old segments of the shell as it grew and using them to control buoyancy by filling them with gas – similar to how a submarine works.

It is worth noting that the bleeding tooth fungus contains several chemical compounds that have been studied for their potential medicinal benefits. These include antibacterial and anticoagulant properties, as well as compounds that may have anti-inflammatory effects. However, these compounds have not been extensively studied for their safety or efficacy, and the fungus is not widely used for medicinal purposes.

Of the 1,028 teeth remaining in this collection, 191 teeth demonstrated positional, anatomical, or other suspect developmental anomalies. The most common positional abnormality according to the predetermined criteria was rotation of the mesial aspect of the maxillary premolar teeth toward the palate, seen in 72 (68%) of these teeth, and rotation of the mesial aspect of the mandibular premolar teeth toward the buccal surfaces, seen in all 106 mandibular premolar teeth available for evaluation. Other noted dental malocclusions included buccal rotation of right maxillary first ( n = 1) and second ( 2) incisor teeth; mesioversion of a right maxillary first incisor tooth ( n = 1), left maxillary first ( n = 1) and second ( 1) incisor teeth; buccoversion of a right maxillary first incisor tooth ( n = 1) and right mandibular first incisor tooth ( n = 1); and linguoversion of two mandibular second incisor teeth, one of which also had a morphologically abnormal crown. Maloccluded teeth were found to be associated with relative asymmetrical alveolar bone loss at a frequency of 19.4%, compared to 13.2% of normally positioned teeth ( p = 0.043). Furcation involvement or exposure was identified in 25.1% of maloccluded multirooted teeth, but only 5.6% of normally positioned multirooted teeth ( p< 0.0001). No statistically significant difference was found between maloccluded and normally positioned teeth with regards to signs of endodontic disease ( p = 0.153).

Thorny devils mate and lay eggs mainly in the late winter through early summer (August to December). Mating has also been observed in the fall, suggesting there may be a mechanism for sperm storage. Females lay eggs in oviposition burrows up to 15 cm long at depths up to 22 cm below the surface. These burrows are different from their normal burrows and are often dug into southern facing sand ridges. Females lay from 3 to 10 (median 8) eggs that are incubated for 90 to 132 days (mean 118). After laying eggs, females fill in the oviposition burrows and smooth out the surface to cover evidence of their activity. Hatchlings weigh 1.8 grams on average and measure 63 to 65 mm snout to vent length. Young apparently eat their own egg casing before climbing out of the ovipostion nest. ( Pianka, 2009; Pianka, et al., 1998) Thorny devils have been widely compared with Phrynosoma species, North American horned lizards. Thorny devils and Phrynosoma species are an example of convergent evolution towards a highly armored, slow-moving, thermally labile, ant-specialist lizard niche.

Due to the near ubiquity of having alveolar bone margins located apically to the cementoenamel junctions, relative alveolar bone loss between contralateral counterparts and alveolar margin recession resulting in furcation involvement or exposure was categorized as evidence of pathological bone loss. Asymmetrical relative alveolar bone recession was identified in 141 of 992 (14.2%) fully erupted teeth with an intact supragingival component, the majority of which were premolar ( n = 25, 31.9%) or molar teeth ( n = 67, 47.5%). Involvement or exposure of the furcation was seen in 54 of 204 (26.4%) of premolar teeth and 24 of 428 (5.6%) of molar teeth. Their deployment is part of the toolkit of many militaries, and experts point out that for them to be useful requires skilful placement of the barriers, as well as both effective observation and placement of artillery systems to guard them.

Thorny devil teeth are modified for their ant specialist diet. Ants are relatively hard-bodied insects, with high levels of chitin. The mandibular teeth are modified to fit neatly between two maxillary teeth, creating a shearing apparatus. Thorny devils have also lost the anterior pleurodont teeth, reflecting their use of the tongue to capture prey, rather than the teeth. ( Witten, 1993) Point Blue | Conservation Science, PRBO".

Root canal width may be considered as a potential means of relative age determination. The coincidence of a wider root canal width with smaller skull morphometrics in this study reinforces the likelihood of a consistent rate of decreasing root canal width reflecting an increase in skull dimensions and corresponding animal age, however future studies with individuals of known age will be required to precisely document this effect. Similarly, patterns of mandibular symphyseal fusion may be used as a means of age estimation in a clinical setting when radiography may be performed in the treatment of clinical disease such as Devil facial tumor disease as this parameter may be unaffected in the face of other compromised maxillofacial anatomy. If validated by a subsequent study involving specimens of confirmed exact ages, these features can provide valuable guidelines for the estimation of patient age. The Egg Wars – The Kitchen Sisters".

Numerical and positional dental anomalies have been identified in Tasmanian devils, including incisor tooth crowding, lateral rotation of the third premolar tooth, and crown abnormality of a second premolar tooth ( 13, 18– 20). In a separate specimen, a left maxillary third premolar tooth, paired supernumerary mandibular premolar teeth, an unpaired right maxillary molar tooth, a single supernumerary maxillary molar and paired supernumerary mandibular molar teeth, crown division with possible extension into the root of a left maxillary fourth molar tooth, and bilaterally very small maxillary fourth molar teeth were identified ( 21). However, these previous documentations were limited to evaluation of crown presence and position in intact skulls and did not include description of trauma to or structural abnormalities of the crowns themselves. While the normal radiographic dental anatomy in Tasmanian devils has also been described ( 16), to the authors' knowledge there is no published data regarding pathological radiographic findings in Tasmanian devils, such as those of developmental, periodontal, or endodontic tooth disease or other abnormalities of the alveolar bone. As such, the aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence of and describe macroscopic and radiographic anatomy, anatomic variations, and pathological processes involving the skulls and dentition of a museum collection of Tasmanian devil skulls.
