Description
Original diagnose after Reinecke et al. (2020) p. 110 [29177]: Medium-sized pristiophorid teeth, up to 1.6 mm wide and 1.0 mm high. Dental pattern gradient-monognathic heterodont. Teeth in anterior to lateral files (Figs 30A-D) with upright or distally inclined, central cusp and moderately wide, laterally sloping heels lacking cusplets. Labial crown face convex and smooth without an axial vertical ridge; apron very weak or absent; ornamentation absent on basal labial crown faces; laterolingual crown faces partly smooth or with a transverse ridge, but no folds or tubercles present. Mesial/distal cutting edges extending continuously from apex to lateral crown margins. Uvula conical, moderately broad and long. Root triangular to mesio-distally extended, anaulacorhize, laterally nearly as wide or wider than crown basis. Few foramina present on laterolingual root faces and axially on labial root face.
