• BoneRelated: Dermal bone is an ancient route of skeletal formation found in many vertebrate skulls.

• OsteichthyesRelated: Osteichthyans also possess bones formed outside the cartilage skeleton.

• SkullRelated: Many skull-roof bones arise this way, unlike much of the skull base.

• OstracodermRelated: Many ostracoderms are recognized by extensive dermal bony armor.

• Postcranial skeletonRelated: Its developmental origin differs from that of many postcranial bones.

• PlacodermRelated: Placoderm armor consisted of dermal bone plates.

• Early vertebrateRelated: Many early vertebrates preserved mineralized armor made from dermal skeletal tissues.

• PteraspidomorphiRelated: Their distinctive armor consisted largely of bone formed at the body surface.

• AmphisbaeniaRelated: Small dermal bones reinforce the skin of many amphisbaenians.

• Crocodyliform skullRelated: Many conspicuous skull-roof bones develop directly in connective tissue.

• CephalaspisRelated: Its head shield was built from dermal bone, creating conspicuous external armor.

• OstraciidaeRelated: The boxfish carapace is formed from fused dermal plates.

• BothriolepisRelated: The plates of Bothriolepis armor were formed from dermal bone.

• PteraspisRelated: Its head shield was built from dermal bone plates.

• ArandaspisRelated: Its extensive external armour consisted of dermal bony plates.
