Thanks! Yes, it's quite technical with only teeth to describe. We do actually have a skull for this one, but for some reason the describers chose not to say anything about that skull except a few measurements. A pity, because a description of the skull would at least have been a little less technical than one of the molars only. Ucucha 21:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
