Its appearance suggests that the complicated structure of the hair follicle, closely similar to that of present-day mammals, had already appeared at this time.[well established][VHOG] MESH:D018859 EMAPA:29741 VHOG:0001268 Development notes:Formation largely takes place during fetal and perinatal skin development.
