Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. R. Prothero et al. 2023(After Patton 1969, p. 171) “A medium sized artiodactyl with brachydont molars and a very long mandibular symphysial region. Diastema between p2 and p3 equals twothirds of that between p1 and p2; intercolumnar tubercles occur between protoconid and hypoconid on m1 and m3; talonid of m3 divided into two separate grinding surfaces. Differs from F. dolichanthereus in having larger premolars, and in the less invaginated talonid of m3.”
