Mixocricetodon dehmi

Mammalia - Rodentia - Cricetidae

Taxonomy
Mixocricetodon dehmi was named by Rummel (1997) [The type locality for the species is unclear, as the original description gives two 'type localities'and does not specify from which the holotype derives.]. Its type specimen is BSP 1997 I1, a mandible (dext with i1, m1-m3), and it is not a trace fossil. Its type locality is Petersbuch 31, which is in a MN 7 + 8 fissure fill horizon in Germany.

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Rummel 1997Großer Cricetodontinae mit langgestreckten, relativ niederkronigen, massigen oberen und unteren Molaren und nicht reduziertem m3. Das Anteroconid des m1 kann tief und weitgespalten sein. Am m3 is meist ein kurzes Hypolophulid II entwickelt. Der M3 bildet einen vollständigen Mesoloph und Posteroloph aus. Der M1 zeigt einen anterioren labialen Quersporn. Alle Zahnpositionen des Oberkiefers weisen einen kräftigen Mesoloph und drei Wurzeln auf. Ein Entomesoloph fehlt weitgehend. Im Unterkiefer ist bei allen Zähnen ein kräftiges Mesolophid und ein schwacheres Ectomesolophid vorhanden.
