Within Teleosauridae, there is a Middle–Late Jurassic ‘<italic>Steneosaurus</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>–<italic>Machimosaurus</italic> subclade [<xref rid="RSOS140269C5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>], which is often considered to be durophagous/chelonivorous owing to a suite of craniodental morphologies that would have been well suited for feeding on hard-shelled turtles or thick-scaled fishes, i.e. a foreshortened snout, proportionally enlarged supratemporal fenestrae and blunt, heavily ornamented dentition [<xref rid="RSOS140269C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>–<xref rid="RSOS140269C12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. However, recently a generalized ‘macrophagous’ diet has been posited for ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic> based on tooth morphology, particularly the presence of serrations [<xref rid="RSOS140269C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>].</p><p>Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and macrophotographic investigation of ‘<italic>S</italic>.’ <italic>obtusidens</italic> dentition find two types of tooth serrations: false denticles and true denticles [<xref rid="RSOS140269C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. False denticles are defined as being formed by the superficial enamel contacting the carinal keel, as often occurs when enamel ornaments such as ridges intersect with the carina [<xref rid="RSOS140269C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. True denticles are defined following Young <italic>et al</italic>. [<xref rid="RSOS140269C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]: ‘true serrations are discrete morphological units on, or along, the carinae which are not formed by the surface enamel ornamentation’. (Note that we do not use a histological definition of denticles, namely that the underlying dentine contributes to them, owing to the destructive nature of the analyses needed to confirm this.) These discrete morphological units may, or may not, be clearly individualized by interdenticular grooves or notches. In certain cases, there is no interdenticular groove, because there is a high carinal keel and/or the denticles are microscopic and poorly defined. This occurs in taxa with incipient denticles, such as in ‘<italic>S</italic>.’ <italic>obtusidens</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>] and the metriorhynchid thalattosuchians ‘<italic>Metriorhynchus</italic>’ <italic>brachyrhynchus</italic>, <italic>Tyrannoneustes lythrodectikos</italic> and <italic>Torvoneustes carpenteri</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. The definition used herein is a revised version of that used by Prasad & Broin [<xref rid="RSOS140269C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>], as incipient denticles are not always clearly individualized, and may not form a contiguous series.</p><p>Serrations are common in taxa with carnivorous or piscivorous diets, ranging from theropod dinosaurs and many Mesozoic marine reptiles to monitor lizards and sabre-toothed cats. They are apparently rare, however, within Teleosauridae. In addition to the ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>holotype, the only other teleosaurid specimen described as having serrated dentition is the neotype of <italic>Machimosaurus mosae</italic>, which Prasad & Broin [<xref rid="RSOS140269C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>] considered to have crenulated carinae with false denticles (note that here we use the revised <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> taxonomy of Young <italic>et al</italic>. [<xref rid="RSOS140269C4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]). Unfortunately, the <italic>M. mosae</italic> neotype is no longer in a public collection, and is believed to reside in a private collection; thus, we could not investigate its dental morphologies. With that said, the <italic>M</italic>. <italic>mosae</italic> neotype is only one of numerous <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> specimens from the Late Jurassic of Europe. The dental morphologies of these specimens have yet to be comprehensively studied, so it is currently unclear whether serrations may be more widespread in this characteristic and wide-ranging marine crocodylomorph, and if so, which serration types may be present in which taxa and what implications they may have for understanding feeding ecology.</p><p>Here, we investigate the surface morphology of <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> dentition. We identify and describe four distinct serration, and serration-like, morphologies: (i) an incipient denticle morphology very similar to that seen in ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>, (ii) false denticles created by the enamel ridges contacting the carinal keel (i.e. the carinae), (iii) apicobasal and anastomosed enamel ridges that are ‘wavy’/undulating and create a serration-like effect, and (iv) in <italic>Machimosaurus hugii</italic> numerous apical anastomosed ridges that have discrete units which would be called denticles if they were on the carinae. This final serration-like morphology is intriguing, and to the best of our knowledge has never previously been described for marine crocodylomorph teeth, although it is similar to enamel surface features seen in some other groups of durophagous vertebrates.</p><sec id="s1a"><label>2.1</label><title>Institutional abbreviations</title><p>DFMMh, Dinosaurier-Freilichtmuseum Münchehagen, Lower Saxony, Germany; MG, Museu Geológico, Lisbon, Portugal; MPV, Musée paléontologique (Paléospace) de Villers-sur-Mer, Normandy, France; MNHN, Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris, France; NHMUK, Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom; NMS, Naturmuseum Solothurn, Switzerland; SMNS, Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart, Germany.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s2"><label>3.</label><title>Dental description</title><sec id="s2a"><label>3.1</label><title>Tooth morphology of <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> species</title><p>The taxonomically indeterminate <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> tooth is from Villerville, département du Calvados, Basse-Normandie, France (Calcaires gréseux d'Hennequeville Formation, upper Oxfordian, Upper Jurassic; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F1">figure 1</xref>).

The apex is blunt and rounded, and shows evidence of being worn and polished. No apicobasal facets are evident on either the labial or lingual faces (such as those in the metriorhynchid genus <italic>Geosaurus</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]).

This specimen shows heterodonty, with decreasing tooth apicobasal length along the tooth row. Isolated teeth referred to <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> from the Kimmeridgian of France and Germany (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figures 3</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">5</xref>) [<xref rid="RSOS140269C12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>], and cf. <italic>M</italic>. <italic>buffetauti</italic> from the Kimmeridgian of England (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F6">figure 6</xref>) [<xref rid="RSOS140269C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] show the same variation in tooth apicobasal length. Interestingly, the anterior teeth of the holotype and the isolated, elongate teeth from France and Germany have carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F2">figures 2</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">5</xref>), whereas the presumably posterior, shorter tooth from England lacks carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F6">figure 6</xref>). This could suggest that presence of the carinae varies along the tooth row. Unfortunately, the <italic>in situ</italic> teeth of the Ain skull are still partially encased in matrix, so their carinae are not always visible [<xref rid="RSOS140269C9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. The tooth crowns which are carinated have a mesial and a distal carina, and do not have split or supernumerary carinae (a carina that is split into multiple forks or multiple carinae located near each other [<xref rid="RSOS140269C19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]).</p><p>The tooth crowns are lingually curved, although this curvature is much more pronounced in the elongate tooth crowns (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F2">figures 2</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">5</xref>) than in the presumably posterior, shorter teeth (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F6">figure 6</xref>). Fortunately, the curvature of <italic>in situ</italic> Ain skull teeth is visible [<xref rid="RSOS140269C9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>], and this specimen shows the same trend shown by the isolated tooth crowns: stronger lingual curvature of the elongate anterior teeth, and weaker lingual curvature of the shorter posterior teeth. Interestingly, some of the isolated tooth crowns preserved in matrix of the holotype (SMNS 91415) also show a shorter apicobasal length and are more poorly curved lingually than those <italic>in situ</italic> anterior-middle dentary teeth. Therefore, contra Martin & Vincent [<xref rid="RSOS140269C6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>], the dentition is not homodont.</p><p>As with <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> sp., tooth enamel ornamentation varies along the crown. In the basal-mid regions, enamel ornamentation is composed of numerous apicobasally aligned ridges of high relief, which in the apical region shifts to an anastomosed pattern (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figures 3</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F6">6</xref>). In <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> teeth, on the lingual tooth surface, the apicobasally aligned enamel ridges immediately adjacent to the apical anastomosed region are closely packed, whereas on the labial surface, these ridges are more widely spaced (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figures 3</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">5</xref>). This is especially marked in the French tooth (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">figure 5</xref>). In the apical-half of the tooth crown, the apicobasally aligned enamel ridges are ‘wavy’ or undulating. Where these undulations are pronounced they closely resemble serrations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figures 3</xref><italic>g</italic>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F4">4</xref><italic>g</italic>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F5">5</xref><italic>g</italic>,<italic>h</italic> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F6">6</xref><italic>e</italic>).</p><p>Macrophotographic study of isolated <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> teeth shows true denticles on the carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figure 3</xref><italic>g</italic>).

They are present on both the mesial and distal carinae, but they do not proceed along the entire carina (heterogeneous), but rather appear in short rows. Note that some of the serrations in the apical region are, in fact, false denticles, created by the short anastomosed ridges contacting the carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F3">figure 3</xref><italic>g</italic> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="RSOS140269TB2">table 2</xref>).

There are tooth crowns which are elongate, have a pronounced lingual curvature and are carinated (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F7">figures 7</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F9">9</xref>); ones which are shorter, have a less pronounced lingual curvature and are carinated (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F10">figures 10</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F12">12</xref>); and some that are even shorter (subglobidont) teeth, which are poorly curved and are either uncarinated or the carinae are restricted to the apical region (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F13">figures 13</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F16">16</xref>). The tooth crowns which are carinated have a mesial and a distal carina, and do not have split or supernumerary carinae.</p><p>As with <italic>M. buffetauti</italic>, the tooth enamel ornamentation varies along the crown. In the basal-mid regions, enamel ornamentation is composed of numerous apicobasally aligned ridges of high relief, which in the apical region shifts to an anastomosed pattern (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F7">figures 7</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F16">16</xref>). Again, as with <italic>M. buffetauti</italic>, there is variation in the ornamentation patterns on the labial and lingual surfaces. On the lingual tooth surface, the apicobasally aligned enamel ridges immediately adjacent to the apical anastomosed region are closely packed, whereas on the labial surface these ridges are more widely spaced (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F7">figures 7</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F9">9</xref>). However, this only occurs on the elongate tooth crowns. In the shorter tooth crowns, the enamel ornamentation patterns of the labial and lingual surfaces are identical (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F10">figures 10</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F16">16</xref>). In the apical half of the tooth crown, the apicobasally aligned enamel ridges are ‘wavy’ or undulating, but these undulations are notably less pronounced than those seen in <italic>M. buffetauti</italic>.</p><p>Macrophotographic study of isolated <italic>M. hugii</italic> teeth shows true denticles on the carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F8">figures 8</xref><italic>b</italic>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F11">11</xref><italic>f</italic>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F12">12</xref><italic>f</italic> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F16">16</xref><italic>a</italic>).

They are present on both the mesial and distal carinae, but they do not proceed along the entire carina (heterogeneous), but rather appear in short rows. As with <italic>M</italic>. <italic>buffetauti</italic>, some of the serrations in the apical region are in fact false serrations, created by the short anastomosed ridges contacting the carinae (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F8">figures 8</xref><italic>b</italic> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F16">16</xref><italic>a</italic>).</p><p>One of the most curious features of the isolated <italic>M</italic>. <italic>hugii</italic> teeth is seen along the apicobasal and anastomosed ridges. On these ridges are what look like accessory denticles (best seen in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F8">figures 8</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="RSOS140269F15">15</xref>). These structures are more numerous, larger and better defined than the true denticles and false serrations seen on the carinae, such that they can be seen with the naked eye, without optical aids, in good lighting. These ‘pseudo-denticles’ are restricted to the enamel ridges on the apical half of the tooth crowns.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="discussion" id="s3"><label>4.</label><title>Discussion</title><sec id="s3a"><label>4.1</label><title>Co-occurrence of true denticles and false denticles</title><p>The co-occurrence of both true denticles and false denticles (superficial enamel contacting the carinal keel) on the carinae of <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> and <italic>M. hugii</italic> teeth is notable, but not unique to these species. These two serration morphologies also co-occur in the teleosaurid ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic> and the metriorhynchid <italic>To. carpenteri</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>], and possibly also in the ‘pholidosaurid’/elosuchid <italic>Elosuchus cherifiensis</italic> ([<xref rid="RSOS140269C20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>], MNHN.F MRS 340 and other currently undescribed MNHN <italic>Elosuchus</italic> specimens). All of these taxa share: robust conical teeth, blunt apices and an enamel ornamentation pattern that in the apical region transitions from being apicobasally aligned to an anastomosed pattern. It is in this anastomosed region that the enamel ridges contact the carinal keel and forms false denticles. It has been hypothesized that the co-occurrence of these morphologies may be linked to functional ecology and diet, specifically a durophagous/generalized macrophagous diet in which both crushing and flesh-slicing are important [<xref rid="RSOS140269C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. It is an interesting hypothesis, which study on durophagous taxa from other clades (such as mosasaurids and other crocodylomorph clades) could help test. Regardless of the precise reason why true denticles and false denticles occur together, the fact that they are found together in a small group of teleosaurids and metriorhynchids suggests that these animals (<italic>Machimosaurus</italic> spp., ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>, <italic>Torvoneustes</italic>) had a generally similar diet, and may have filled somewhat similar roles in their respective ecosystems.</p><p>Apart from the co-occurrence of true and false denticles, most of these characteristics (heterodont dentition, the posterior-most teeth having a robust, conical shape with blunt apices, false denticles and an enamel ornamentation pattern that in the apical region transitions from being apicobasally aligned to an anastomosed pattern) are found in other marine crocodylomorphs. These include, most notably, the dyrosaurid <italic>Phosphatosaurus</italic><italic>gavialoides</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] (and cf. <italic>Phosphatosaurus</italic> MNHN.F APH 23) and the tomistomine crocodylian <italic>Maroccosuchus zennaroi</italic> ([<xref rid="RSOS140269C21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>], MNHN.F APH 18). As such, this dentition type evolved repeatedly during crocodylomorph evolution.</p></sec><sec id="s3b"><label>4.2</label><title>Pseudo-denticles</title><p>Perhaps the single most striking feature of any of the <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> teeth described here is the ‘pseudo-denticles’ on the apicobasal and apical anastomosed ridges of <italic>M. hugii</italic> crowns. Their presence helps to readily differentiate the teeth of this taxon from other blunt-toothed teleosaurids (such as ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>, <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> and <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> sp.). These are large, well-defined and immediately notable structures, but their potential function is unclear. The ‘pseudo-denticles’ increase the surface area of the apical region of the tooth crowns. This could be a way of maximizing friction, and therefore facilitating grip, on wet prey items (such as marine turtles, some of which have embedded <italic>M. hugii</italic> teeth and/or bite marks consistent with <italic>M. hugii</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]). These structures could have also have strengthened the enamel.</p><p>It is interesting to note that many other durophagous vertebrates have structures that are broadly similar to the ‘pseudo-denticles’ of <italic>M. hugii</italic>, although usually not as large and well defined. These include, for example, various mosasaurids [<xref rid="RSOS140269C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>], bony fishes such as <italic>Paralbula</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>], crocodylomorphs such as <italic>Brachychampsa</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>,<xref rid="RSOS140269C25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>], and some mammals (such as the ‘condylarth’ <italic>Periptychus</italic> [<xref rid="RSOS140269C26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]). All of these taxa possess complex and often anastomosing enamel ridges that undulate, sometimes with bulbous projections like the ‘pseudo-denticles’. A broader comparative study or biomechanical study is beyond the scope of this paper, but it is possible that these similar structures served to increase surface area for crushing, strengthened the tooth enamel to better withstand hard-objecting feeding, or both (as has been hypothesized for durophagous mosasaurids [<xref rid="RSOS140269C27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]). There is some support for the increased friction hypothesis from testing on shoe tread–groove design, which found that tread design influences friction, especially in the presence of liquids [<xref rid="RSOS140269C28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. However, relating these tread–groove results to tooth crown ‘pseudo-denticles’ and the ‘interpseudo-denticular sulci’ would require biomechanical testing.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="s4"><label>5.</label><title>Conclusion</title><p>Here, we comprehensively describe and figure the dentition of two of the most distinctive species of Late Jurassic marine crocodylomorphs, the teleosaurids <italic>M. buffetauti</italic> and <italic>M. hugii</italic> (and described an isolated <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> sp. tooth). We find that both species had heterodont dentition with a variety of enamel ornamentation patterns, including four distinct types of serrations or serration-like structures. These findings therefore increase the roster of serrated taxa within Teleosauridae, a group that was long thought to lack tooth serrations. <italic>Machimosaurus buffetauti</italic> and <italic>M</italic>. <italic>hugii</italic> share the same suite of morphologies as the closely related species ‘<italic>S.</italic>’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>. All these taxa have true denticles and false denticles co-occurring on the same teeth. As such, there is now a subclade of teleosaurids which have: proportionally enlarged supratemporal fenestrae, foreshortened rostra, reduced tooth counts, teeth with blunt apices and heavily ornamented dentition (apicobasally aligned ridges in the basal-mid regions and shorter anastomosed ridges apically) with serrated carinae. The discovery of serrated dentition in <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> strengthens the contention that the ‘<italic>S</italic>.’ <italic>obtusidens</italic>–<italic>Machimosaurus</italic> subclade may have had a diet broader than simple durophagy, with flesh slicing also part of their feeding repertoire.</p><p>The most curious discovery is the presence of ‘pseudo-denticles’ on the enamel ridges of <italic>M. hugii</italic> teeth. This morphology has never been described for a marine crocodylomorph to the best of our knowledge. These ‘pseudo-denticles’ are better defined and more numerous than the true denticles along the carinae. The presence of this morphology could be a way to increase the surface area of the apical region of the crowns for maximizing friction (which would be advantageous for maximizing grip), or may have strengthened the tooth enamel. However, these hypotheses require biomechanical testing. Nevertheless, the presence of this peculiar morphology demonstrates that thalattosuchian dentition still yields surprises, despite the long-held assumption of dental conservatism in this group.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We thank Marco Brandalise de Andrade, Eric Buffetaut and Silvan Thüring for discussion on <italic>Machimosaurus</italic> and sharing specimen photographs, and Nils Knötschke for loaning DFMMh specimens for study and photography.
