Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. B. Heckert 2002Species of Revueltosaurus distinguished by having denticles that extend equally far down anterior and posterior carinae; denticles very fine basally, coarser apically, and fine again near tip; denticles frequently offset lingually near base on both the anterior and posterior margin and range from approximately 1.56–3.3/mm; tooth tips and denticles generally worn flat or perpendicular to tooth height; premaxillary teeth often less laterally compressed than maxillary/dentary teeth.
