Description
DENTAL MORPHOMETRIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL
COMPARISON
There were no well-preserved dentaries or maxillae in the Myall Creek Diprotodon assemblage to allow comprehensive description or comparison with other localities. The single dentary available for study (AMF 49681) belonged to a large-form individual that is morphologically similar to large-form individuals from other assemblages examined.
Over 160 teeth were examined from the assemblage. Tooth morphology is similar to that of all other Diprotodon assemblages examined in this study, and thus does not warrant additional description. Like the Darling Downs assemblage, P 3 morphology is particularly variable in cusp, cingula and shape expression (Fig. 12). The means of cheek teeth dimensions are similar to those of corresponding teeth of other Diprotodon assemblages, and all means overlap at one standard deviation (Tables 2, 3).
