Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. D. Uhen et al. 2008Symphysis long, occupying about two-thirds the length of the jaw; outer side of lower jaw with long vascular impressions, which often unite to form a groove, which is broad and shallow at first and afterward narrow and deep; angle of the symphysis rounded; lower borders of the rami concave, the upper bent inward, so that, seen from above, the rami, with the angle of the symphysis, assume an elongated oval form; alveoli numerous, reaching up the rami; teeth small; those on the rami short cone-shaped, with the crown bent backward and swollen above the base; premaxillae approximated, ankylosed together in age, depressed in the nasal region, with many grooves in the broader part which converge anteriorly; nasals small; interparietal enclosed between the two frontals and the occipital; frontals mostly free, covered by the maxillae only on the sides (True, 1908a translating Abel [1900]).
