Description
Original diagnose after Chapman (1917) p. 139 [443]:
Pristis cudmorei, sp. nov. (Plate IX., Fig. 7).
Description.—Dermal teeth of rostrum, flattened-conical and curved; bluntly pointed. Inner, concave edge rounded; the convex margin cultrate. Base nearly straight across, but slightly hollowed below, the surface in contact with the cartilaginous socket of the rostrum being roughened for attachment. Surface of tooth even but for a few longitudinal grooves around the base. The surface of the tooth when magnified shows numerous longitudinal striae, very fine and distinct.
Dimensions of Holotype.—Length of tooth, 17.5 mm.; width at base, 7.5 mm. ; greatest thickness, 4 mm. The smaller specimen has a length of 15 mm.
