Marly limestone driveway single stone carved at an angle, rather than laid in two pieces. Two piece solutions flank these on alternate stones. A remarkable luxury of effort. View in LinkedIn

DECOUPLED EVENTS. "We suggest that the origin of baleen is decoupled from the loss of teeth, with a separate morphological and genetic basis." http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2017.00067/full View in LinkedIn

VESTIGIAL TEETH. "Along with tooth morphology, it remains unclear whether the tooth buds observed in mysticete embryos represent the first, deciduous dentition, or the second, permanent dentition." http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2017.00067/full View in LinkedIn

TEETH PSEUDOGENES. "Building on this work, Deméré et al. (2008) demonstrated that SCPP genes are present, but not functional in mysticetes, suggesting that the loss of functional teeth had resulted in the SCPP gene family being released from selective pressures." http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2017.00067/full View in LinkedIn

TEETH GENES. "Primarily, one gene family is responsible for proper dental development in mammals (SCPP), coding for secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein." http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2017.00067/full View in LinkedIn

OTHER ADAPTATIONS. "Some cetaceans show extreme longevity, as well as resistance to cancer, wound healing and insulin resistance. Other major adaptations pertain to feeding ecology; indeed, modern cetaceans diverged approximately 34 Ma into the toothed whales (suborder Odontoceti), which evolved echolocation to hunt using ultrasonic pulses and possess a highly specialized inner ear, and the baleen whales (suborder Mysticeti), which lost their teeth and instead evolved a novel keratinous material for filtering smaller prey." http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/2/9/150156 View in LinkedIn
