is the greatest of the genus and in late stage of wear specimens can exhibit eight, nine, or even ten fossettids. The fossettids vary more in orientation than the fossettes, which are elongated and orientated anteroposteriorly. However, although usually the fossettids extend from the posterolingual corner of the tooth to the anterolabial one, the orientation seems to be more prone to changes with wear and amongst individuals. UOMNH F-10347, in particular, at a wear stage comparable to that of UOMNH F-10348, shows many more small smaller curved lakes with varying orientation. It is worth noting that in addition to the six main fossettids (see

: fig. 7), there are two other lakes of different homology, as both lower teeth exhibit an additional lingual lake. There is a posterolingual fossette, an anterolingual one, and a third one located in between. Furthermore, UOMNH F-10347 also shows another fossettid lingual to the anterior-most fossettid. A similar phenomenon is found in the upper tooth, UOMNH F-10349, as well as in the specimens figured by
