The m1 paraconid-protoconid blade appears to show strong wear, but this feature may be due in part to abrasion of this specimen. The protoconid is the tallest cusp of the trigonid, with the metaconid and paraconid subequal in height. The metaconid is tilted slightly posteriorly. The talonid makes up more than half of the tooth and a large hypoconid, which approaches the metaconid and paraconid in height, is present. The talonid also has a small entoconid, and a cingulid is present. The m2 is broken mesiolingually but a tall protoconid and lower metaconid are preserved. A crest extends from the metaconid distolingually to join the cingulid around the talonid.</paragraph>
