🦷 The class Mammalia London: Printed for Geo. B. Whittaker, 1827. Original source Image description: Illustration from 1827 showing detailed drawings of four different seal lower jawbones with teeth. Each jaw features a prominent curved canine and a series of smaller molars, highlighting differences in tooth shape and root structure. The jaws are labeled with species names: P. leptonyx and P. vitulina with several roots, and P. proboscidea and P. ursina with simple roots. The plate emphasizes the comparative anatomy of seal teeth within the mammal class, focusing on tooth form and root complexity. The style is a precise, scientific line engraving typical of early 19th-century zoological studies.
