Description
Original diagnosis after Ivanov & Ginter, 1996 [3134]: Tooth with the button which occupies almost the whole upper surface of the base and reaches its lingual rim. The labial margin of the button is sharp; the lateral margins become less clear lingually as the upper surface of the button gradually slopes down. At the lingual rim the but ton can hardly be distinguished from the main basal body. The lingual opening of the main basal canal perforates the linguo-basal part of the base, so that all main foramina occur on the underside of the base. The central cusp is low and very thin or absent. The chevron-shaped ornament on the labial faces of the lateral cusps is partially composed of sigmoidally curved cristae
