Thisis probably of the nature of cementum. It was formed afterthe enamel was completed, but while the tooth was enclosed Fig. 82 M Bfe^ ^t <*r l \ L \ w O w The section ground from 1, Fig. 81, showing the depth of the fissure. in its follicle in the crypt in the bone. It is to be comparedwith the coronal cementum that is characteristic of thecomplex grinding teeth of the ungulates and other herbivor-ous anima
