PETEKS0H : NEW CARNIVORES FROM MIOCENE OF WESTERN NEBRASKA 215 The remains indicate an animal of slightly larger size when fully adult (see Figs. 2 and 3).. Fig. 3. Lower Jaw of Yoang of Dnphrenodon supnbux. 'i nat. size. No. 1589a. In section 17 of Quarry No. 1 was found a fragment of a mandibular ramus with the deciduous sectorial in position and the permanent pT buried in the jaw. The latter tooth is only partially developed. The differ- ent cusps of the deciduous tooth are quite sharp and the heel is of considerable size and completely basin- shaped. The fangs are excessively spread in the an- tero-posterior direction, due to the constant pressure from below by the permanent tooth, and furnish a sure indication of the juvenility of this tooth. Except for its slightly smaller size, the tooth most nearly resembles that of "Cam's" anceps Scott and is here figured for the purpose of warning the student. The specimen may or may not represent Dapkcsnodon 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 Peterson, O.
