Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. W. van den Hoek Ostende 1995Turkodimylus contains medium to large-sized dimylids with moderately inflated cusps. The m1 has a talonid which is clearly wider than the trigonid. The P4 is very long relative to the M1 (P4/M1 circa 0.85); the m1/m2 ratio is high (> 1.30). The mesostyles of the M1 and M2 are clearly divided to widely spaced.
