Description

Cephalophini gen. et sp. indet.

According to Gentry (2010), representatives of the Cephalophini tribe have brachyodont teeth with a basal pillar on the upper and lower molars, rounded lobes and little or no development of styles and stylides. Only one specimen from Cooper’s D, an unworn upper molar, has these characteristics and could therefore be attributed to that tribe.
