Peratherium
cf.
elegans
(de Blainville, 1840)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Four fragments of upper M1- 2-3 ṙ (three lingual worn fragments,
SPV
790-792, one labial fragment weakly worn,
SPV
793).
DESCRIPTION
When directly compared, the size of the teeth is the same as in
Peratherium elegans
from Mas-de-Pauffié. But, as the teeth are rare and incomplete, it is difficult to determine them at the species level. On the only available labial fragment, the stylar cusp C is a little more reduced than on the few teeth from Mas-de-Pauffié. On the base of the paracone, the stylar surface of the enamel bears two weak crestules linguo-labially oriented. Ŋe styles are less sharp than in
P. elegans
