Discussion The lack of Px and the broader, almost conical P2 and P3, which lack anterior accessory cusps and have very small posterior accessory cusps, readily distinguishes L 2673 from the other Langebaanweg hyaenids as well as other species previously recorded from South Africa. Its characteristics cannot be attributed to the ontogenetic age of the individual, since other specimens from Langebaanweg which belong to individuals of comparable age ( 5/1966/1, vide infra) have unerupted cheekteeth which are morphologically comparable to those of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
