Description
Original diagnose after Ward (1979) p. 117 [2493]: (Based on isolated antero-lateral teeth only). Hexanchus having small teeth, approximately one and a half times as long as high. Principal cusp barely larger than the first distal cusplet. Serration at base of mesial cutting edge varying from slight to strong. Root deep apico-basally. Root crown junction not parallel to lingua l longitudinal protuberance.
