The i2 is much broader than i1, and its flange, laterally offset, overlaps the labial face. The third incisor is missing on both sides, but was intermediate in diameters between i1 and i2. The length and relative position of the incisors, as well as the lack of diastemata, clearly point to a suid with a shortened muzzle.</paragraph>

Only the posterior root of p2 is preserved; all that can be said is that this tooth was rather large. The other cheekteeth are in medium wear, except m1, which is in late wear. The p3 is a large and robust tooth, being even slightly longer than p4. Its morphology is simple, without any evidence of division of the main cuspid, which is inflated, especially labially; the talonid is expanded distolabially into a strong vertical buttress. In lateral view; the steep slope of the anterior wear facet shows that the anterior accessory cusp was low, but it is also buttressed on both the lingual and labial sides. The p4 is stout and broad. As on p3, the anterior accessory cuspid is broadened.

This species differs from the one present at Yulafli by a number of features: the anterior part of the dentary is much more elongated so that, even though the symphysis is much longer, it does not reach farther posteriorly than the level of p2, and usually remains more anterior. The i3 is more posterior relative to i1i2; there is a diastema between i3 and the canine, and a very long one between the latter and p2. i1 and i2 are much longer, adding to the long slender as
