Description
Diagnosis after Dearden, Johanson, O’Neill, Miles, Bernard, Clark, Underwood & Rücklin, 2025 [34431]: Very small, strongly asymmetrical teeth. Cusp triangular with sharp cutting edge, strongly bent lingually and distally. Lateral cusplet on distal edge of tooth, absent on mesial edge which is developed into slight shoulder. Base of cusp has a labial bulge and the medial section is developed into a low labial protuberance. Parallel folds present at the base of the cusp, some of which travel up the cusp’s face. Root flat and developed into mesial and distal lobes with deep, open nutrient groove.
