ALLODAPOSUCHIDAE INDET.

Localities: Molí del Baró-1.

Material: MCD- 5555–56 ( Fig. 5R–S View Figure 5 ).

Description: Wide, elongated and blunt teeth that are approximately 17.4 mm high basiapically and approximately 11.8 mm wide mesiodistally. They show a convex labial surface, whereas the lingual side is flattened. The cross-section is D-shaped. Anterior and posterior carinae are faint and lack serration. The

enamel is smooth, but there are two basiapical grooves, lingually to the carinae. Several basiapical wide ridges are present between the grooves.

Remarks: This morphology resembles the caniniform (fourth dentary tooth) of Allodaposuchus hulki ( Blanco et al., 2015a) , although caniniform teeth are unknown in other Maastrichtian Iberian allodaposuchids. Following the same line of reasoning as for morphotypes XI and XII, we tentatively refer these specimens to Allodaposuchidae . Likewise, they might represent caniniform teeth of the same dental series of morphotypes XI and/or XII (see above). Thus, it is not possible to discern whether they belong to a single or several species of allodaposuchids. This morphotype corresponds to morphotype 3 described by Marmi et al. (2016) from the Molí del Baró-1 site.
