- The basic odontode unit is identical to the placoid scale of chondrichthyans [SA04] [S + 98].
- Similar attempts had been underway in the dermal skeleton, stemming from Williamson's use of placoid scales from extant sharks as conceptual units in comparative analysis.
- Like other sharks, catsharks are covered with placoid scales.
- The earliest attempts to unravel the nature of development and patterning of the vertebrate dermoskeleton and visceral skeleton place central importance upon the nature of the placoid scales in living sharks.
