Wear, tear and systematic repair testing models of growth dynamics in conodonts with high-resolution imaging

Conodont elements are the earliest mineralized vertebrate dental tools and the only ones capable of extensive repair. Two models of conodont growth, aswell as the presence of a larval stage, have been hypothesized. We analysed normally and pathologically developed elements to test these hypotheses a...
