A stylized top view of a ganoid scale shows a rhomboid plate with concentric growth rings and a glossy outer ganoine cap. In biological hierarchy, the scale is a dermal skeletal element within the integument of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), notably gars and bichirs. In ichthyology and comparative anatomy, ganoid scales function as protective armor and reduce abrasion while aiding hydrodynamics. The illustrated entity is an anatomical structure located on the body surface of the fish, composed of ganoine over dentine and bone.
