Studied material and measurements – For the overview of the measurements see Table 1 . Specimen numbers and MNI data by layers are given in Table 3 .

Layer 8

– Left mandible fragment with M 2 (L: 1.33, W: 0.80) and M 3 (L: 1.00, W: 0.63).

Layer 21

– Left I 1 fragment.

Layer 25

– Right M 1 (LL: 1.43, BL: 1.40, AW: 1.75, PW: 1.68).

Layer 27

– Left I 1 fragment.

Layer 28

– Left M 2 (LL: 1.33, BL: 1.33, AW: 1.75, PW: 1.33).

Layer 45

– Right mandible fragment with M 3 (L: 1.00, W: 0.53);

– Left M 2 (L: 1.18, W: 0.65).

Description – The tip of some teeth is pigmented with light orange colour.

I 1 – The upper incisor is fissident. The dorsal margin and the buccal posterior margin make a sharp angle; the posterior margin has a slight undulation and a weak cingulum.

M 1 and M 2 – Metaloph is present. The protocone and the hypocone are separated by a not too wide valley, which has a little cingulum at its lingual end. The metastyle of M 1 protrudes, but it protrudes less in M 2. Therefore, PW relatively to AW is more significantly less at M 2 than at M 1. The anterior margin bends obliquely beside the protocone. The hypocone is placed further towards the lingual side than the protocone ( Figs 1–2 ).

M 2 – The buccal edge of the hypoconid is slightly convex. The talonid is wider than the trigonid. Cingula are week, but well visible on both lingual and buccal sides. The lingual one is slightly undulate. The entoconid is high. The entoconid crest is present, but it is much lower. The buccal re-entrant valley opens directly above the cingulum ( Fig. 3 ).

M 3 – The buccal cingulum is week and slightly undulate, while the lingual one is less developed. The talonid is basined, and possessing both entoconid and hypoconid. The talonid is narrower than the trigonid ( Fig. 3 ).
