ReferenceDiagnosis
C. W. Hibbard 1957Nebraskomys is a vole, with rooted teeth, smaller than Pliophenacomys meadensis Hibbard and Pliolemmus antiquus Hibbard. The mental foramen is located just anterior to the anterior root of m1 and near the dorsal surface of the diastemal region. The incisor passes from the lingual side to the labial side of the jaw beneath the anterior root of m2.
