How are foreign keys stored in 7.1?

I need to find out how foreign keys are stored in a table. Does Oracle make a copy of the other tables primary key, or does it use a pointer of some sort like ROWID? Eample: If Table A's primary key is 50 bytes and table B uses this as a foreign key, is 50 bytes used for storing the foreign key?
