1Arrange (scales, sepals, plates, etc.) so that they overlap like roof tiles.
these moulds have spherical bodies composed of imbricated triangular plates
Example sentencesExamples
- These image structures imbricate prior historical formations to displace the digital warfare irradiating the cybermilitarized economy.
- The sellate sclerites were probably imbricated posteriorly along their duplicature and sella sides.
- Now, we know that when reptiles have imbricated scales, we do find dermal muscles.
- Instead, the most parsimonious interpretation is that the sellate sclerites were probably imbricated in anterior-posterior rows.
- They may be imbricated and/or fragmented, suggesting winnowing and directed current stress.

  a coating of imbricating scales
  Example sentencesExamples
  But, unlike modern fishes, most thelodont squamation, especially in the cephalopectoral region, was not imbricating.
  This means that ‘apparently distant’ forms of life imbricate deeply because the same ontological mechanisms responsible for anthropogenesis treat nonhuman forms of life as similarly negative in their unlikeness to human life.
  Perhaps as a result of being contacting or imbricating surfaces, the decrescent, sella, and duplicature sides are also characterized by negative allometry (relative to other sides) and a sparse distribution of pores.
  The Mannin Thrust is identified as a major imbricating structure within a continental arc, but not a terrane boundary.
  Therefore, we propose that the decrescent, sella, and duplicature sides represent contacting or imbricating surfaces.

Origin
