Description

TABLE 2. Dental measurements (L=length, W=width; in mm) of the mandibular (above) and maxillar fragments (below) from Scontrone, mandibular premolar/molar ratio and body mass estimation (BM in kg) based on lower molar row length after Damuth (1990) for selenodont browsers. * alveolar measurements. The specimens are sorted according to increasing size. Dental measurements from Mazza & Rustioni (2011, 1999, 1996).
