The teeth would not extensively overlap each other but rather the lingual rim of each tooth would be in contact with the shallow longitudinal groove on the labial side of the tooth in front; the basal surface of adjacent teeth in the same row would abut on each other forming an archlike structure.

They differ from all known chondrichthyan teeth in several features of dental morphology: in the presence of a unique transversal basal canal occurring as a prominent tube close to the basal surface, in very fine and dense striation of cusps and in an arched base without well-developed extension and articulation elements.

The basal surfaces of the type II pneumocytes were invested by a well-defined basement membrane through which small cytoplasmic projections penetrated into the underlying connective tissue space (Figure 4, B).
These type I pneumocytes did not have microvilli, lamellar bodies, or cytoplasmic projections along their basal surfaces (Figure 5, B).
