Description
Original diagnose after Siverson et al. (2019) p. 95 [27309]: Symphyseal teeth with sharp, continuous cutting edges and concave labial face of cusp. Anterior teeth with acute cusp, somewhat twisted in occlusal view. Cusp narrow and elongated in juvenile, lateral teeth. Serrations relatively well developed in anterior teeth but variably developed in lateral teeth. Labial surface of cusp moderately convex in most teeth. Crown’s labial side straight to slightly lingually curved in profile view. Basal edge of labial side of crown strongly scalloped in anterior teeth but less so in more posteriorly situated teeth. Crown overhangs labial face of root in all teeth. Lingual neck commonly scalloped in profile view. Root medially low in labial view and tightly curved in anteriorly situated teeth. Labial foramina relatively small.
