Description
Original diagnosis after Bourdon, Wright, Lucas, Spielmann & Pence, 2011 [13214]: Lamniform teeth with narrow triangular cusp, multiple long narrower accessory cusplets and short compound basal folds of the labial crown face – forming a cutting-grasping dentition displaying gradational (probably disjunct) monognathic and dignathic heterodonty.
