Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 600 [24889]: Protosqualus species showing strong monognathic, dignathic and possibly sexual heterodonty. Teeth of moderate size (1–4 mm wide) with cusp short and bent distally. Mesial cutting edge better developed in the mesial three quarters of the cusp. Apron variable in shape: triangular with a broad base and rounded extremity, to nearly parallel-sided and elongate. Labial basal edge of the crown low distally and of uneven morphology mesially. Root with flat to slightly concave basal face in profile view. Axial foramina separated. Mesial expansion of the root narrower and more elongate than the distal one.
