Description
Original description after Leidy (1876) [1419] (only name), description in Leidy (1877) [1420]:
An isolated median tooth, represented in figures 4, 5, Pl. XXXI, probably indicates a species of eagle ray different from the former. The specimen is likewise from the marl of Vincenttown, Burlington Co., N. J., and was recenly presented to the Academy by Col. T.M. Bryan.
The tooth is transversely nearly straight, and the ends are angular and adapted to the articulation of small hexagonal teeth as in the species of Myliobates generally. The crown forms a thick median transversely convex prominence with the sides extended outwardly and thin. The prominence appears as an exaggeration of the median ridge of the dental plate of M. fastigiatus due to the more abrupt depression of the sides of the crown. The tooth at the median prominence is no thicker than in the smaller of the dental plates described under the name of M. fastigiatus, while it is considerably broader. The triturating surface is transversely convex on the median prominence and becomes nearly flat upon its reflected sides. The dull aspect of the triturating surface, and the comparatively thin condition of the sides of the crown probably indicate some reduction as the result of wearing. The anterior inclining surface of the crown and the projecting posterior surface indicate a somewhat imbricated arrangement of the median teeth. In the specimen the back of the eminence of the crown is unsymmetrical, apparently deformed. The base of the crown opposite the median eminence is concave, and this curvature at the sides is slightly deflected. The root is straight on its attaching surface.
The breadth of the tooth is nearly 2 1/2 inches; its median height 8 ¾ inches, and at the sides 4 lines. The width of the crown fore and aft is about 5 lines, and its thickness at the middle about the same, while at the sides it is but 1 ½ lines.
