M a t e r i a l a n d l o c a l i t i e s. Three molariform teeth (Mariupol’, upper Miocene); one complete tooth NMNHU-P 53/5119 (Trudomirovka, lower Pliocene); one tooth NMNHU-P 29/229 (Bezymiannoe, lower Pleistocene). D e s c r i p t i o n. The processed material consists of both symmetrical and asymmetrical teeth. Symmetrical teeth (pl. 1, figs 7–9) are round to slightly elliptically elongated. Teeth are laterally convex, gradually curved and flat (pl. 1, fig. 7) or mediumheight (pl. 1, figs 8, 9). The apical surface of the teeth is smooth or irregular by the form of holes (pl. 1, fig. 9). Basal parts of the teeth are not preserved. The pulpal cavity is clearly visible in all specimens. The enamel is greyish-brown, brown or black. Asymmetrical teeth (pl. 1, fig. 10–11) are rounded, elliptically elongated or kidney-like in shape. The teeth are laterally convex, gradually curved and flat or medium-height. The apical surface of the teeth is smooth or slightly damaged, probably due to transportation within the sediment. The enamel is dark to light brown. M e a s u r e m e n t s, i n m m. Length — 2–13 (μ = 6); width — 1.5–11 (μ = 5).
