Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. W. Hoganson and J. M. Erickson 2005A species of Ischyodus that differs from all other species in this genus by several mandibular tooth plate and palatine tooth plate characteristics. Mandibular tooth plate characteristic unique to this species is the unequally bifurcate median tritor in which the tip of the outer branch lies directly posterior to the anterior outer tritor and the inner branch extends beyond the anterior tip of the anterior outer tritor. The presence of an indistinct accessory median tritor is also unique to this species. Palatine tooth plate characteristics that differentiate this species from other Ischyodus species include the elongate median tritor that extends beyond the posterior inner tritor and the distinctly curved, elongate outer tritor.
