Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. C. McKenna and S. K. Bell 1997Oberes Gaumendach schmal, zwischen der Mitte der zwei ersten Molaren kaum breiter als die Länge des ersten Zahnes (Taf. V, Fig. 1-3). Oberes Gaumendach durch ein kurze Querbrücke gekennzeichnet, die hinter den ovalen Gruben der Seitenfurchen durchbrochen sein kann. Schuppe des Mitteldammes zu einem bogigen dünnrandigen Gesims verbreitert. Alveole des unteren Nagezahnes bis zum Unter- oder Oberrand des Foramen dentale reichend, aber auch höher heraufsteigend (Taf. V, Fig. 8). Die Firstenkante des unteren Nagezahnes verläuft unter der hinteren Wurzel des zweiten unteren Backenzahnes, so dass eine Hälfte dieser Wurzel auf die äussere, die andere aber auf die innere Seite des Nagezahnes fällt (Taf. V, Fig. 7 und 8). D Die äusseren und inneren Einbuchtungen der Molaren sind deutlich alternierend und fasst von gleicher Tiefe; ihre inneren Winkel ohne Zement-belag (Taf. V, Fig. 6, 9 und 10). Dritter oberer Molar nur mit einem (innerem) geschlossenem Dreieck und beiderseits mit drei Ausbuchtungen versehen (Taf. IV, Fig. 9-11). Erster unterer Molar fünf unvollkommen geschlossene Dreiecke, ferner aus"warts vier und einwärts fünf Ausbuchtungen aufweisend (Taf. IV, Fig. 12-14). Erster oberer Molar dreiwurzelig, aber die beiden vorderen Wurzeln manchmal verschmolzen (Taf. V, Fig. 4 und 5); die übrigen Molaren zweiwurzelig.
