Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 629 [24889]: Teeth with a moderate degree of gradient monognathic heterodonty. Erect triangular main cusp in anterior teeth and inclined distally in laterals. Convex mesial and distal edges of the main cusp in all files except posterior teeth, where the distal edge is concave. Low and slightly convex distal heel in lingual/labial view. Strong and continuous serrations, reduced in the apical region of the cusp. Well-developed concave labiobasal bulge of the crown overhanging the root and showing arched depressions where foramina open. High and concave triangular furrow in basal region of lingual crown face. Moderately low root with poorly developed branches of concave extremities. Numerous labial foramina at the crown/root edge. Reduced lingual root face, poorly individualized from basal face. Concave basal root edge in labial/lingual view. Lateral, lateroposterior and posterior teeth showing wellmarked and arched notches on mesial and distal root edges. Strongly mesiodistally compressed parasymphyseal teeth with conical crown bearing irregular serrations. V-shaped and high root overhung by the crown labially in occlusal view.
