Figure 6 in Initiation and early development of the postcanine deciduous dentition in the dasyurid marsupial Dasyurus viverrinus

Figure 6. Dasyurus albopunctatus pouch young: a, (AMNH 190927; 36.64 mm skull length). Erupting teeth in the upper jaw with canine about ½ erupted. The dP1 is almost completely erupted and P3 is in early eruption. A tiny, slender dP3 is lying on the distal margins of the erupting P3, pointing posteriorly; its apex is not evident. M1 is erupted and the M2 is about ¾ erupting (not shown); b, (AMNH 221650; 37.53 mm skull length) slightly older than the preceding. The dP1 is erupted in the upper jaw and P3 is erupting (½–⅔). A tiny, elongate dP3 is evident along the posterior margins of the erupting P3; c, (BBM – NG 28247; 37.89 mm skull length). The dP1 is erupted, and the P3 is almost completely erupted in the upper jaw. A tiny, slender and elongate dP3 is evident along the distal margin of P3 and its root extends distally beneath the anterior opening of the infraorbital canal; d, (BBM – NG 97868; 47.25 mm skull length). In this older young, the P3 is almost completely erupted in the upper jaw. A tiny, slender root remnant of dP3 is evident, distal to the buccal end of P3.
