“…Further observations led to the conclusion that all of the other elements of the skeleton (cranium and axial) except for the jaw bones are formed by bony tissue just as in other teleosts. Subsequently, Andreucci & Blumen (1971), through autoradiographic studies, concluded that the hard pieces found within the jaws of S. testudineus are formed by enameloid and not dentine and/ or enamel, as has been suggested by previous authors.…”

“…Although the configuration of this beak has often been interpreted to be the same in all tetraodontoids, a few (mostly ignored) studies shed some doubt on its homology. Several of these comparatively investigated its ultrastructure in the four families (Andreucci 1968; Andreucci and Blumen 1971; Britski and Andreucci 1975; Andreucci et al. 1982; Britski et al.…”

Konstantinidis, P. and Johnson, G. David 2012. Ontogeny of the jaw apparatus and suspensorium of the Tetraodontiformes. -Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 93: 351-366.The jaw apparatus and suspensorium of adult Tetraodontiformes are well adapted to a durophagous feeding habit. Anatomical indicators are the short, stout jaws and a suspensorium in which the quadrate lies in the same vertical plane as the autopalatine. In contrast, the palatoquadrate of larval Tetraodontiformes generally resembles that of larval percomorphs -a more posteriorly positioned quadrate and a slender and long Meckelian cartilage. Among Tetraodontiformes, the Triacanthodidae retain a protrusible upper jaw and a versatile suspensorium. The jaws of the Balistoidei have greater mobility achieved by a reduced autopalatine that has lost its bony contact with the suspensorium. In contrast to the Balistoidei, the beak-like jaws of the Tetraodontoidei lack individual teeth in the biting part of the jaws. The autopalatine is enlarged, which results in immobilization of the ethmopalatine articulation. The Ostraciidae are exceptional in having the distal part of the autopalatine reduced, while the proximal part remains attached to the suspensorium.

For years teeth of tetraodontoid fishes generally have been considered coalescent even though "coalescence," which also is found in fishes of other families, has never been well defined. This paper deals with some aspects of coalescence of the teeth in tetraodontoids and attempts to define this condition. The sites of osteodentinogenesis and the mechanisms by which hard tissues are formed, reabsorbed, and abraded during feeding were analyzed from semiserial decalcified sections and from ground sections, as well as from autoradiographs of the premaxilla and dentary bones of Sphoeroides greeleyi. The observations reported here, taken together with other data we have obtained on members of the Tetraodontoidei, permit clear definitions of "tooth" and "supporting bone," and consequently the structural meaning of coalescence. From these data we hypothesize how coalesced masticatory structures may have evolved in this group.
