Description
Original diagnosis after Collareta et al. (2022) [31134]: Carcharhinus dicelmai sp. nov. differs from all other extant and extinct species of Carcharhinus as its upper teeth display the following unique combination of characters: crown provided with a triangular, narrow-based, slender, smooth-edged cusp; cusp labiolingually thick at base, semicylindrical, sigmoidal, exhibiting a marked coronal twist that causes the labial face to be partially visible in apical view; cusp apex bending towards the commissure in lateral teeth; mesial and distal heels much thinner labiolingually than the cusp, the latter being separated from the distal heel by a clear notch; distal heel featuring one to five, coarse, angularly lobate serrae that become more prominent toward the base of the cusp; similar serrae often present on the mesial heel too.
