Description
Original diagnosis after Guinot, Hautier, Sambou & Martin, 2023 [31795]: Dasyatid showing gradient monognathic and possibly gynandric heterodonty. Non-cuspidate teeth higher than wide (anteriors) to wider than high (laterals/posteriors). Crown with fine reticulate ornamentation on occlusal face and upper part of labial face, occasionally on basal region of labial face. Occlusal face bulged in anteriors, flat in laterals/posteriors. Labial face concave in profile view; labial visor strongly flared with a developed, convex, and smooth lower face. Lingual crown face high, smooth, with depressed margino-lingual faces separated by a broad mediolingual crest; marked transverse depression on lingual crown face; margino-lingual faces concave; lingual visor developed and triangular. Cuspidate teeth high and labio-lingually developed. Cusp strongly bent lingually with blunt and curved margins reaching the marginal angles. Median vertical depression on labial crown face from the apex to the labial visor. Labial visor flared with concave margins. Lingual face high with two concave and basally flared margino-lingual faces separated by broad medio-lingual crest. Elongated and strongly lingually-projected lingual visor. Reticulate crown ornament on labial face and occasionally on upper part of lingual face. Root holaulacorhize, lingually positioned. Root lobes triangular in basal view and lingually-projected. Developed labial root face with several foramina.
