FIG. 9 in Pliocene suids from Musaitu and Dermenji, Moldova: implications for understanding the origin of African Kolpochoerus Van Hoepen & Van Hoepen, 1932

FIG. 9. — Skull of Dasychoerus arvernensis (Croizet & Jobert, 1828) from Musaitu, Moldova, right lateral view. Note the downward bend of the ventral part of the snout in front of the alveoli of P1/ (separated from the P2/ by a short diastema) and the relatively thin supra-canine flange above and behind the canine alveolus. Also of note is the slightly convex dorsal transverse profile of the skull in front of, and above, the orbits, and the absence of dishing of the dorsal longitudinal profile of the skull. Scale bar: 10 cm.
