Oryzorictes tetradactylus Milne-Edwards and A. Grandidier, 1882

Attributed material: Inner recess (Superficial): 1 cranium. Upper Stratum: 70 maxillae and maxillary fragments; 81 mandibular rami; see Appendix.

As in other genera, the anterior dentition is less frequently preserved than molars, with incisors rarely and canines occasionally present. Deciduous incisors were present on the anterior cranium of one specimen, but judging by the dentition, and by measurements, most of the Children’s Cave subfossils are adult and fit within the variability of the modern species (Figure 13).
