Figure 30 in Cretaceous Crocodyliforms from the Sahara

Figure 30. Reconstruction of the dentition of the crocodyliform Araripesuchus rattoides sp. n. Anterior dentition restored based on the size and orientation of the alveoli in CMN 41893 and UCRC PV3. A Dorsal view. B Ventral view. C Anterolateral view with premaxillary and anterior maxillary dentition restored to match those in the dentary. Given the presence of large, adjacent first dentary teeth, there may have been a median diastema between the premaxillary teeth and one or two fewer teeth in each premaxillary tooth row. Scale bar equals 2 cm in A and B. Abbreviations: d1, 4, 8, dentary tooth 1, 4, 8; d, dentary; di, diastema; m1, maxillary tooth 1; pm1, 2, premaxillary tooth 1, 2.
