Description
Original diagnosis after Feichtinger, Pollerspöck, Harzhauser, Auer, Ćorić, Kranner, Beaury & Guinot, 2024 [32635]: Small centrophorid teeth with typical dignathic and gradient monognathic heterodonty in upper jaw teeth. Upper anteriors almost symmetrical with upright main cusp, flanked by a pair of low and broad cusplets. Main cusp with sharp but smooth cutting edges and rounded apex; cutting edges of lateral cusp not well developed. Lingual crown face convex but flattened towards the mesial and distal crown margins. Irregular lingual crown–root junction with small enameloid knob developed below the main cusp. Flat labial crown face with a broad, short apron with parallel edges and an almost straight basal face. Tooth crown of upper anterolateral and posterolateral teeth with mesially inclined main cusp, one pair of broad, blade-like lateral cusps present. Apron of upper anterolateral teeth with concave edges almost reaching the basal root edge. Angular root morphology in upper teeth; medio-lingual foramen situated on a mesio-distally elongated root bulge and a central foramen below the bulge. One pair of margino-lingual and several marginolabial foramina present. Lower jaw teeth strongly labio-lingually compressed with distally inclined main cusp, flanked by a distal heel. Mesial cutting edge smooth or slightly serrated, distal cutting edge smooth. Lingual crown base with knob-like uvula and mesio-distally elongated root bulge. Labial crown with long, parallel-sided apron reaching almost the root base. Lingual root face with a central and medio-lingual foramen, accompanied by a large mesial and one or two smaller distal foramina. Variable number of margino-labial foramina bordering basal crown edge. Mesial root edge straight and displaced below crown, distal edge oblique; tooth-interlocking surface lacking.
