Dear all,
We have this modern comparative vicuņa from northern Argentina with a
rather anomalous dentition. We have posted some pics at:
http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1764
http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1765
http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1766
and/or at:
http://zooarchaeology.ning.com/forum/topics/anomalous-camelid-dentition
We have interepreted it as corresponding to a 4-7 years old individual with a
semi-erupted supernumerary molar at each side. (We do not have the
mandible unfortunately). Would you agree? Have you ever noticed a similar
anomaly?
Any info would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance! Muchas gracias!
All the best,
Dra. Mariana Mondini
