“An elongate fossettid separates the entoconid and hypoconid.”

“State 1 is coded for those taxa with a substantial difference in the depth of the basins between the central fossettid and all others, such that a mid- or late wear specimen will have the central fossettid still present and clearly-defined, while the others will all be worn away.”

“The p1 is smaller than the canine and is little more than a peg-like structure, ovoid in occlusal view with a tiny fossettid in the middle.”

“When compared with taxa from the Mustersan and Tinguirican, Patagonhippus canterensis n. gen. et n. sp. and P. Dukei n. gen. et n. sp. share the absence of a posterior fossettid, but have a more hypsodont dentition.”
