Pachycynodon sp. 3

(Fig. 3A)

DESCRIPTION

Pachycynodon sp. 3 is a piece of left maxilla with M1-M2 (UM VD47). The M1 (size = 6.7 × 8.6 mm)differs from Amphicynodon by its larger buccal length relative to the bucco-lingual diameter and the relatively lingually situated metaconule (Fig. 3A). The features are less expressed than in P. boriei. The M2 (size = 4.3 × 7) is oval, smaller but close to the pattern of P. ‘ gryei ’ (Filhol, 1976). The M1 UM VD48 (Fig. 2F) is similar to VD47 and likely belongs to the same species (size = 7 × 8.6 mm).
