Dentition
Original Diagnosis after WHITE, LAST & BAJE, 2015 [22847]: Teeth in seven rows in each jaw, coalesced to form plates; middle series of teeth in both jaws broad and hexagonal, flanked by three rows of much smaller, similarly sized, diamond-shaped teeth on each side arranged in a pavement-like fashion; median tooth row transverse in upper jaw, slightly curved in lower jaw; median tooth row 6–8 times width of lateral tooth rows; lower jaw tooth plate width 4.2 (3.8–4.8)% DW, upper jaw tooth plate width 4.5 (4.4–5.7)% DW.
