Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. H. Wheeler 1961 (Mongolotherium)Medium-sized uintatheres with very prominent sagittal and occipital crests. Upper part of occipital region overhangs posteriorly and extends well to the rear of the foramen magnum. Upper incisors present. Prominent diastema between canines and molars. Entoconid distinct and large. No horns or arched nasal bones.
R. M. Schoch and S. G. Lucas 1985Same as that for the Pro­dinoceratidae. [Relatively small to medium-sized dinaceratans with a relatively non-molaritorm P2/; full set of upper and lower incisors: entoconids moderately to very distinct; entoconid and hypoco­ nid crests present on lower molars; lower molars relatively elongated; skull with single sagittal crest; astragalus bears a short, but distinct, neck (p).]
