In some genera, such as Bolterpeton and Cardiocephalus, the teeth are labiolingually compressed.
("Squish" is an effect in internal combustion engines whereby turbulence is created when the compressed charge is "squished" as the piston reaches TDC. Such turbulence is desirable as it promotes more extensive mixing of the fuel/air mixture: cf: cf1, cf2, cf3).
Radio suppressor type spark plug wires use compressed carbon powder as a conductor, rather than solid metal wire, to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) produced by the wires, which may cause malfunction of sensitive electronic systems in modern vehicles.
