The p3 is a rather high-crowned prism having a long and robust root; subtriangular occlusal outline with almost straight postero-internal margin; antero-external fold smooth, deep, filled with cement. The enamel band is thick along the anterior part and on the postero-external corner of the tooth and it lacks on the postero-internal border. P3 with three cones separated by the anterior reentrant folds filled with thick cement. P4-M2 gradually became wider with teeth wear, and flexids of teeth covered with deep cement.
