Comparison of Buronius (left, GPIT/MA/13005) and Danuvius (right, GPIT/MA/10002-07) upper M2 occlusal morphology with the nomenclature labelled on the Buronius tooth.
Pr—protocone; Prl—protoconule; MMR—Mesial marginal ridge; Pac—paracrista; Prpac—preparacone crista; Pa—paracone; Popac—postparacone crista; BS—buccal style; Prmc–premetacone crista; Me—metacone; Pomc—postmetacone crista; DMR–Distal marginal ridge; H-Mc–hypocone-metacone crista; Hyc—hypocrista; Pohc—posthypocone crista; Hy—hypocone; Prhc—prehypocone crista; CO—crista obliqua; Poprc—postprotocone crista. Note the unusual configuration of the crista obliqua (yellow line) and postprotocone crista (orange line). In Buronius the crista obliqua meets the concave postprotocone crista distal to the protocone, in contrast to Danuvius, in which the two cristae meet at the protocone tip (For a description of GPIT/MA/10002-07 see S2 File).
