Description
Original diagnosis after Menner (1928) [1639] (translated from Russian): The crown of the anterior teeth has an almost straight main cusp, flat on the outer side and moderately convex on the inner side. On the 11 lateral teeth, the main cusp of the crown is slightly bent backwards and its outer surface is slightly swollen. The lateral cutting ridges on the teeth of this species are moderately developed and completely smooth. The lateral accessory cusplets, in the first pair, are separated from the main cusp by small notches that do not reach the base of the crown. Their apex has a slightly rounded outline. The enamel across the entire crown of the tooth is completely smooth. The root of the teeth under consideration is well-developed, thick with slightly developed wing-like processes, flattened at the ends.
Location: R. Emba, Ak-suat. Grey Palaeogene clays. Klimov Collection. Moscow Mining Academy.
