Mammal Teeth: Origin, Evolution, and Diversity
Many of these are lophodont, consisting of a series of lophs or ridges formed
when adjacent cusps fuse together (see, e.g., R. E. Martin, Pine, and DeBlase

These come in from either side, to meet in the middle, splitting the tooth into

crown, forming regular plates or laminae, which are stacked one against another.
