Description
Original diagnose after Feichtinger et al. (2021) [29807]: Cladodont shark known from a single tooth displaying the following unique combination of dental characters: robust multicuspid tooth exhibiting a prominent, broad-based central cusp that is flanked by a pair of strongly divergent lateral cusps and a pair of intermediate cusplets; all cusps and cusplets triangular-shaped in profile; lateral cusps reach onethird the height of the central one; cutting edges continuous and well-developed; labial and lingual crown faces display distinct cristae of various length; some of them bifurcate basally; labial face of central cusp bears a pair of strongly developed ridges; basolabial face of cusp strongly depressed; distinct basolabial depression below central cusp followed by an adjacent basolabial projection; lingually extended base with reniform basal face; mesio-distal length of tooth base about 2 cm; dense network of vascular canals occupy the complete tooth base.
