Figure 4. Dentition of Caryonosuchus pricei gen. et sp. nov. (DGM 1411-R), in detail. A, ventrolateral view of teeth of the left side, showing the labial face of the crowns with basiapical ridges; B, lingual face of the same teeth, where the pebbled ornamentation and a wear facet are evident. C, apex of symphyseal crown showing tuberous denticles. D, maxillary tooth of the right side, showing the denticulated carina and wear facet. E, symphysis of Sphagesaurus huenei (RCL-100) with the first four mandibular pairs of teeth, the last showing extensive wear. F, palate of S. huenei (RCL-100) showing the premaxillary hypertrophied caniniforms and the first maxillary teeth. In comparison, RCL-100 shows the same general features, but its ridges seem to be more numerous when compared with the dentition of C. pricei. Note that in (A) that the basiapical ridges are evident even in areas where the enamel was not preserved and the dentine is exposed; in (F) the crowns of the fifth dentary teeth are preserved, attached to the palate. White pointers indicate wear facets. Scale bars = 10 mm.
