Fig 11. A comparison of the typical development (not necessarily occlusal wear) of molar teeth of African elephants at different lamellae numbers according to the position of the Age Reference Line.

Molars are aligned with mesial end to the left with the smaller molar at the top, progressively getting larger downward. Red dots indicate the lamellae number (L), which is 10 cm mesial from the Age Reference Point (See Fig 2). I) M5 and M6 at L10. J) M6 at L11 The foremost part of this tooth is broken off and a wooden wedge is seen below the tooth. K) M6 at L12.
