Counting these lines provides the age of a tooth and comparing the age of the mature tooth to the replacement tooth in a socket provides an estimate of the tooth replacement rate. [20] The difference in age between the oldest teeth and the youngest teeth is used to determine the rate of tooth replacement. [20]
As in most members of eugeneodontida, the smaller teeth found near the anterior end of the whorl represent the oldest teeth, which the animal grew as a juvenile and the larger and younger teeth found near the back of the whorl represent teeth grown in adulthood. An interesting distinction of Toxoprion are that its older anterior teeth typically ...
Chilgatherium ('Chilga beast' after the locality in which it was found) is the earliest and most primitive representative of the family Deinotheriidae. [1] It is known from late Oligocene (27- to 28-million-year-old) fossil teeth found in the Ethiopian district of Chilga.

The discovery of a newly identified species — the oldest saber-toothed animal found and an ancient cousin to mammals — fills a longstanding gap in the fossil record.
A fossilized tooth fragment found in the Swiss Alps comes from a giant ichthyosaur, a carnivorous sea creature that lived more than 200 million years ago.
Fuyan Cave (Chinese: 福岩洞) is a complex of limestone caves in Tangbei village, Lefutang town, Daoxian, [1] Hunan province, south central China famous for the discovery of the oldest evidence for unambiguously fully modern humans outside Africa. [2] 47 human teeth, dating to between 80,000 and 120,000 years ago, were discovered at Fuyan ...
