Sea urchins have teeth? A review of their microstructure, biomineralization, development and mechanical properties

Sea urchins possess a set of five teeth which are self-sharpening and which continuously replace material lost through abrasion. The continuous replacement dictates that each tooth consists of the range of developmental states from discrete plates in the plumula, the least mineralized and least matu...
