Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Augé 2003Le dentaire de Axonoscincus sabatieri n. gen., n. sp. montre un sulcus Meckeli rétréci à l’avant. Le bord ventral du dentaire présente une petite apophyse symphysaire. Sur la face labiale, il existe une légère dépression dorso-postérieure, d’extension très limitée. La dentition est homodonte, sans cuspide, forte, la base des dents s’élargissant assez nettement ; elle compte 20 dents. Le prémaxillaire est un os impair, à dentition symétrique. On compte sept dents avec une base légèrement élargie, la lame horizontale consiste en deux segments symétriques, inclinés et convergents vers la partie médiane de l’os. Il n’y a pas de processus incisifs sur le prémaxillaire.
