Referred material:
Mas de Got: a right maxillary fragment P3/-P4/ (
MGT
3178), five mandibular fragments, one with left P/2-M/1 (
MGT
118), one with left P/2-P/4 (
MGT
155), one with right P/2-P/3 (
MGT
3207), and one with left P/3-P/4 (
MGT
127,
MGT
3206). Pech Crabit: three maxillary fragments, one with right P2/ -P3/ (
PCT
420), two with right P3/-P4/ (
PCT
350,
PCT
398); seven mandibular fragments, one with right P/2- M/2 (
PCT
938), one with left P/2-M/2 (
PCT
951), one with right P/2-M/1 (
PCT
441), one with right P/2-P/4 (
PCT
486), one with left P/2-P/4 (
PCT
982), and two with left P/2-P/3 (
PCT
995,
PCT
997). Itardies: three maxillary fragments, one with left P1/-M1/ (
ITD
952), one with right P1/-P2/ (
ITD
959), and one with left P1/ -P2/ (
ITD
961). Mounayne: two left maxillary fragments with P3/-P4/ (
MOU
210,
MOU
211), and a left mandibular fragment P/3-P/4 (
MOU
143). Roqueprune 2: three mandibular fragments, one with right P/1-P/4 (
ROQ
2344), one with left P/3-M/2 (
ROQ
2341), and one with left P/3-P/4 (
ROQ
2383).
Measurements:
See
Table 5
. For
C. procommunis
,
the Kolmogorov- Smirnov and Shapiro- Wilk tests confirm normality for P/3 from Pech Crabit (
N
= 7, K–S, d = 0.246,
P
> 0.20, W = 0.905,
P
= 0.368).
The weakness of variation coefficients confirms the homogeneity of
Caenomeryx procommunis
samples from localities of the MP23 reference level. For the length of P/3 from Pech Crabit, Mounayne, Roqueprune2:
N
= 11, M = 4.40, s = 0.29, K–S, d = 0.19,
P
> 0.20, W = 0.95,
P
= 0.697, V = 6.54.
Description
Upper dentition
: A number of maxillary fragments bear a short premolariform P1/, a P2/ with a wide
