| R. Tabuce et al. 2020 | Saloumia gorodiskii differs from Eritherium and Phosphatherium by larger size, wrinkled enamel, strong lingual cingulum, and no centrocrista; its morphology also differs from Phosphatherium by a pronounced bunodonty. Saloumia gorodiskii differs from Moeritherium ssp., Phiomia, and Palaeomastodon by smaller size, more bunodont and not bunolophodont dental pattern, relatively lower crown, and more labial positions of the protocone and hypocone. |
