Description
Original diagnose after Woodward (1891) p. 90 [4091]: [Plate I. fig. 15.] Type. Right palatine tooth ; British Museum. A very large species, the antero-posterior measurement of the palatine tooth being not less than 0-025. Palatine tooth comparatively robust ; posterior inner and median tritors of about equal size ; anterior inner tritor small and narrow, fixed upon the downwardly-curved anterior extremity of the tooth. Teeth probably for the most part referable to this species have been determined as Ischyodus egertoni, Edaphodon mantelli, E. bucklandi, and E. leptognatlius (R. Lawley, Nuovi Studi Pesci, etc. Colline Toscane, 1876, p. 51).
Form. & Loc. Pliocene : Tuscany.
47032. Type specimen, shown of the natural size, from three aspects, in PI. I. fig. 15, a-c ; Orciano, Tuscany.
