Caenomeryx indet. cf. communis

( Filhol, 1877)

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Right lower jaw fragment with alveoli of p1, p2 and p3 and p4 well preserved; one upper right P4.

DESCRIPTION

Ŋis mandible,on which there is no diastema between p1 and p2, is close to specimens referred to C. communis ( Filhol, 1877) . Its dimensions are similar to those of this species, identified in older localities ( Blondel 2005), and most abundant in the mid Oligocene deposits from Quercy ( Sudre 1995). As seen in this species, the P4 has the protocone situated forward, the parastyle and metastyle highly developed and a strong oblique ridge at the base of the ectoloph.
