Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. J. Prideaux and N. M. Warburton 2008Distinguished from B. paulae by having smaller calcaneum with tuber calcanei relatively shorter and less barrel- shaped; transversely wider, but longitudinally shorter calcaneal-astragalar facets; longer sustentaculum; larger anterior plantar tuberosity; calcaneal-cuboid facets flat rather than V-shaped in transverse plane. Distinguished from B. wilkinsonorum by hav- ing smaller cheek teeth and by lacking posterobuccal accessory cusp, thin low buccal cingulum and thick lingual cingulum on P3, and distinct lingual ‘hook’ of postparacrista on upper molars.
