Biology: A Functional Approach. Students' Manual
The cusps are fused to give two ridges running at right angles to the antero-
posterior axis. Examples are tapir, rhinoceros, elephant and horse. (b)
Selenodont teeth. The cusps are modified into crescent-shaped ridges running
parallel to the ...
M. B. V. Roberts, T. J. King, 1987
The infundibula separate crescentic bands of dentine and enamel to produce the
selenodont form. This arrangement is found in the camels, deer, all bovids and
the horse. Selenodont crowns are usually further complicated by infoldings from ...

Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids: 65 Million Years of ...
The late Eocene also records a wide array of advanced artiodactyls that
developed more selenodont dentition as well as cursorial adaptations. Their
origin lies close to an advanced dichobunid like Mouillacitherium, and they soon
diversified ...

Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology
Thus, it is reasonable to assume that goats and other unfused selenodont
artiodactyls also transversely twist their symphyses, for which symphyseal
interdigitations in addition to ligaments and other connective tissues, likely
provide some ...

The Beginning of the Age of Mammals
As a consequence, artiodactyl classifications vary widely, but there is general
agreement that an early divergence occurred between most bunodont taxa (
suiforms) and selenodont forms (tylopods and ruminants). This early divergence
also ...

The moon, theory and tables
The Selenodont division of the Artiodactyles is a more interesting group and, so
far as we now know, makes its first appearance in the upper Eocene of the West,
although forms, apparently transitional, between it and the Bunodonts occur in ...

Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences
The numerous living and extinct species present a remarkable chain of dental
forms, gradually departing from the bnnodont type, and passing into the
excessively modified selenodont, accompanied with increased mobility of the
mandible in a ...

The Mammalian Jaw: A Mechanical Analysis
Selenodont artiodactyls The selenodont artiodactyls (antelopes, deer, etc.)
demonstrate a very clear example of a postorbital bar that extends from the
frontal bone to the zygomatic arch. In the skulls of these animals, the angle
between the ...

Functional Morphology in Vertebrate Paleontology
Only in selenodont artiodactyls, most primates, horses, and a few other mammals
is a large component of muscle force oriented so as to twist the skull strongly and
thus require a postorbital bar (Greaves 1985a). Simple working models tend to ...

Mammalian Postcranial Evolution and Primate Extinction in ...
The homacodonts are a group of buno-selenodont small- bodied artiodactyls. In
general their dentitions are generalized and their molar crowns are squarer, but
they demonstrate the development of some selenodont features. The smallest ...
