説明

<p>The present overview of the histological studies on Latimeria mineralized tissues, since the discovery of the first living coelacanth in 1938, allows some anatomical and evolutionary considerations. It enlightens: i) a drastic reduction of cartilage to bone transformation processes during evolution; ii) the persistence of large volume of cartilage in the endoskeleton at adult stage; iii) the bony nature of the plates that surround the lung diverticle; iv) the presence of a developed process of spheritic mineralization in various skeletal organs: in teeth, in odontodes of the tegumentary skeleton (scales, fin rays), in scales at the interface between the external layer and the basal plate, as well as in lung bony plates.</p>
