Median teeth very wide and narrow. All median teeth with distinctive swelling on the crown; swelling generally located medially but can be closer to the lateral margin (resulting in an asymmetrical labial/ lingual outline). Swelling is in contrast to remainder of crown, which is dorsoventrally very thin. Occlusal surface has thick enameloid covering that is heavily tuberculated on unworn parts of tooth; surface is punctate where enameloid is missing, due to

use is indicated by flat wear facets that on the highly convex portion of the crown of some teeth). Labial crown face overhangs the root; lingual face with thick and rounded transverse ridge at the crown base. Labial and lingual crown faces possess coarse parallel vertical folds that anastomose and become finer apically. Distal ends of crown angular. Root at least as high as thinnest part of crown; is subdivided into thin lamellae by evenly spaced nutritive grooves. Lamellae do not extend lingually past the crown. Lateral teeth are six-sided, nearly symmetrical. Lateral teeth with same tuberculation and wrinkling as observed on median teeth, but root subdivided into only two or three lamellae.
