    Interesting.
    A question unanswered though is where the term "denticle" came from.
    The term "dentil" is much more logical, since as the article states the marks are "toothlike".

    Apparently 'denticles', 'dentils', and even 'denticulations' are all correct.

    I knew that but I am astonished at what information is available out there. Very cool!

    No kidding, denticulations? I have to work that word into a conversation at home somehow...
