Origins of bone repair in the armour of fossil fish: response to a deep wound by cells depositing dentine instead of dermal bone

The outer armour of fossil jawless fishes (Heterostraci) is, predominantly, a bone with a superficial ornament of dentine tubercles surrounded by pores leading to flask-shaped crypts (ampullae).
