Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Freudenthal 1996Small size, smaller than G. priscus from La Débruge and the Isle of Wight (Bosma & de Bruijn, 1982). Morphology similar to G. priscus, but there is no trace of a posterior centroloph in the upper molars and the anteroloph is generally connected to the paracone. The anteroloph of P4 is quite well developed. In the lower molars the mesoconid is often separated from the lingual border.
