Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
I. A. Vislobokova 2001Orbits open or closed posteri- orly. Jugular foramen not confluent with posterior lac- erate foramen. Alisphenoid canal present. Pterygoid canal absent. Mastoid exposure mainly lateral. Supraor- bital sulcus strongly convergent anteriorly and curved laterally. Facial part of lacrimal with high frontal pro- cess. Orbital part of lacrimal enlarged. Posterior open- ing of orbital canal placed between lacrimal and max- illa, as in tragulids and leptomerycids. Median concav- ity of palate opposite M2 and very strong. Upper canines medium-sized or enlarged. Lower canines may or may not be incisiform. PI and pI present or lost; when present, they detached and caniniform. Radius and ulna separate or fused. Magnum and trapezoid separate. Fibula separate or fused distally with tibia. Metapodials separate.
