Triconodon ? sp.

(Fig. 32E, F)

DESCRIPTION

The specimen ANG M-02 (Fig. 32E, F) consists of an almost complete tooth, only lacking the mesial root.

The crown is labiolingually compressed and bears three mesiodistally aligned cusps. A main central cusp a is largely dominant. It is triangular in lateral profile and surrounded by two smaller accessory cusps: cusp c (distal) reaches half of the height of cusp a, and cusp b (mesial) is about three times smaller than cusp c. Cusp a is slightly flexed lingually. Cusps a and c bear distolingually oriented wear facets. Both labial and lingual cingulid are present. Thus, considering these characters, ANG M-02 can be identified as an eutriconodontan left lower premolariform. It is somewhat similar to the p3 of Triconodon from the Berriasian of Britain (Jäger et al. 2021), so the specimen is tentatively referred to this genus.
