Tympanic bullae larger and markedly more inflated; nasals longer; zygomatic and mastoidal breadths greater; rostrum longer and more depressed; upper incisors longer and wider; molariform teeth smaller.
Skull: Smaller in every measurement taken except interorbital breadth and alveolar length of upper molar series which are larger; molariform teeth larger.
Skull: Larger in every measurement taken; rostrum and nasals actually as well as relatively longer; extension of premaxillae posterior to nasals longer; upper incisors longer and wider; molariform teeth larger.
The size of the molariform teeth is as in birdseyei.
Upper molariform teeth: P4 and M3 with three counterfolds; M1 and M2 with four counterfolds each.
The most striking of these features is the character of the main fold in the molariform teeth.
One of the most important facts to record on this subject is that young specimens with slightly worn molariform teeth are more apt than either adult or younger specimens to show the maximum number of counterfolds.
Molariform teeth large, P4-M3 averaging more than 9 mm in length.
Its molariformteeth are rootless and ever-growing as in the modern geomyines.
The enamel investment on the sides of the molariform teeth is interrupted owing to intrusion of tracts of dentine on the sides of each column.
In the molariform dentition, an almost complete series of stages of wear in Pliosaccomys has been preserved, and those of Dikkomys can be reconstructed with reasonable accuracy from those that are known (see Fig.
Of the molariform dentition only the lower premolar and first two lower molars are known.
Drawings of the molariform dentitions of Dikkomys and Pliosaccomys (Tribe Dikkomyini) depicting the patterns of wear on the occlusal surfaces.
The temporal is one of several muscles holding the occlusal surface of the lowermolariform dentition firmly against the upper cheek teeth during mastication.
Both the mandibular and maxillary tooth-rows are relatively longer than in the generalized skull, providing a longer block for the planing action of the lower molariform teeth.
Drawings of molariform dentitions representative of the tribes Geomyini and Thomomyini depicting patterns of wear on the occlusal surface.
Deciduous premolar preceded by a minute molariform tooth, which remains in place until the animal is nearly full grown.
Relative to the length of the ramus (measured from the anterior mental foramen to the posterior margin of the capsule that surrounds the root of the lower incisor), the depth of the ramus anterior to the molariform tooth-row is 33.
This table was then used to distribute the ages of specimens that contained only molariform teeth.
The tooth-wear technique requires only the molariform teeth but it is more subjective and inaccurate, particularly in older deer (Ryel et al.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "molariform" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
